Subject: [patch 1/5] Add comments to the PDA structure to annotate offsets
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@...ux.intel.com>

Change the comments in the pda structure to make the first fields to have
their offset documented (the rest of the fields follows in a later patch)
and to have the comments aligned.
