Subject: [PATCH 5/5] NET : Reorder fields of struct dst_entry

This last patch (but not least :) ) finally moves the next pointer at the end 
of struct dst_entry. This permits to perform route cache lookups with a 
minimal cost of one cache line per entry, instead of two.

Both 32bits and 64bits platforms benefit from this new layout.
