Re-ordering struct block_inode to remove 8 bytes of padding on 64 bit
builds, which also shrinks bdev_inode by 8 bytes (776 -> 768) allowing
it to fit into one fewer cache lines.
Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>
------
patch against v2.6.38-rc4
compiled & tested on x86_64
regards
Richard
