Subject[PATCH] timer_list: remove alignment padding on 64 bit when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS
From
Date
Re-order structure timer_list to remove 8 bytes of alignment padding on
64 bit builds when CONFIG_TIMER_STATS is selected.

timer_list is widely used across the kernel so many structures will
benefit and shrink in size.

For example, with my config on x86_64
per_cpu_dm_data shrinks from 136 to 128 bytes
and
ahci_port_priv shrinks from 1032 to 968 bytes.

patch against v2.6.35-rc6
compiled & tested on x86_64

regards
Richard
