Which object files are you comparing here? because I don't see the zero
change when comparing the before and after of megaraid_sas_fp.o with
the change you propose.

Yep; that's how we do it. However, I think the zero change is the
exception, not the norm in these sorts of changes.

The machine code could easily change after refactoring the code a
bit as a consequence of the flex-array transformation. It's not like
we are merely removing the 1 from the array declaration. We are also
making use of helpers like struct_size(), flex_array_size() and in
some cases we are making the code to stop allocating some too-many
extra bytes (which usually account for the size of one item of the
trailing array) that are never actually used. I think that could
easily impact how the compiler ultimately arrange the code.
