Subject: [PATCH]  cpuidle menu: remove 8 bytes of padding on 64 bit builds

reorder struct menu_device to remove 8 bytes of padding on 64 bit
builds. Size drops from 136 to 128 bytes, so possibly needing one fewer
cache lines.


Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@....demon.co.uk>

-----
patch against 2.6.33-rc5
compile tested only
