Subject: [PATCH] brd: removed unused brd_device attributes

Save some bytes removing unused attributes of struct brd_device.

Before:
[arighi@...ux: linux-2.6]$ pahole --cacheline 32 -C brd_device drivers/block/brd.o
struct brd_device {
	int                        brd_number;           /*     0     4 */
	int                        brd_refcnt;           /*     4     4 */
	loff_t                     brd_offset;           /*     8     8 */
	loff_t                     brd_sizelimit;        /*    16     8 */
	unsigned int               brd_blocksize;        /*    24     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (32 bytes) --- */
	struct request_queue *     brd_queue;            /*    32     8 */
	struct gendisk *           brd_disk;             /*    40     8 */
	struct list_head           brd_list;             /*    48    16 */
	/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
	spinlock_t                 brd_lock;             /*    64     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct radix_tree_root     brd_pages;            /*    72    16 */

	/* size: 88, cachelines: 3 */
	/* sum members: 80, holes: 2, sum holes: 8 */
	/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};

After:
[arighi@...ux: linux-2.6]$ pahole --cacheline 32 -C brd_device drivers/block/brd.o
struct brd_device {
	struct list_head           brd_list;             /*     0    16 */
	struct request_queue *     brd_queue;            /*    16     8 */
	struct gendisk *           brd_disk;             /*    24     8 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (32 bytes) --- */
	struct radix_tree_root     brd_pages;            /*    32    16 */
	spinlock_t                 brd_lock;             /*    48     4 */
	int                        brd_number;           /*    52     4 */

	/* size: 56, cachelines: 2 */
	/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};
