Subject: [ 154/180] random: Reorder struct entropy_store to remove padding on 64bits

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Kennedy <richard@....demon.co.uk>

commit 4015d9a865e3bcc42d88bedc8ce1551000bab664 upstream.

Re-order structure entropy_store to remove 8 bytes of padding on
64 bit builds, so shrinking this structure from 72 to 64 bytes
and allowing it to fit into one cache line.
