The size of struct net_device crossed the 2K boundary a while ago which
is a waste in combination with many net namespaces. This series brings
the size of struct net_device down to well below 2K in total size with
a typical configuration. Some reserves a several holes leave room for
further expansion.

Before:
/* size: 2176, cachelines: 34, members: 121 */

After:
/* size: 1984, cachelines: 31, members: 120 */


Thomas Graf (2):
  e1000e: Move pm_qos_req to e1000e adapter
  net_device: Reorder members to fill holes

v2:
 - Moved pm_qos_req to e1000e adapter entirely as suggested by Daniel
 - Dropped patch 2 based on comment from Eric. __alignof__ is not
   reliable to derive alignment of kmalloc returned pointer.
