Subject: [PATCH] irq.h remove padding from irq_desc on 64bits

struct irq_desc : reorder to remove padding on 64bits
    
shrinks irq_desc to 128 bytes which saves data space & cache lines

On a generic x86_64/SMP build this reduces the reported data size by
64k.

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

----
This patch is against 2.628-rc6, built & tested on AMD 64x2 desktop.

regards
Richard
