So I have a problem with this vector layout, it doesn't allow for
per-futex flags, and esp. with that multi-size futex support that
becomes important, but also with the already extand private/shared and
wait_bitset flags this means you cannot have a vector with mixed wait
types.

That creates a hole for no reason.
