Subject[PATCH] libata: reorder ata_queued_cmd to remove alignment padding on 64 bit builds
From
Date
Reorder structure ata_queued_cmd to remove 8 bytes of alignment padding
on 64 bit builds & therefore reduce the size of structure ata_port by
256 bytes.

Overall this will have little impact, other than reducing the amount of
memory that is cleared when allocating ata_ports.

Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>
----
patch against 2.6.36-rc3
compiled & tested on x86_64

I've been running this patch for a couple of weeks with no apparent
issues.

regards
Richard
