once we have a usable library for these (and by usable, I mean that, eg 
something that someone like Fedora or Ubuntu can package and install)
I will be more than happy to use it in PowerTOP. Today that does not exist.

If such library becomes reality soon, then I'll adjust PowerTOP soon as 
well, and we can remove the padding some time after that even if that is 
really desired.
But we're talking 4 bytes here....
