Subject: [PATCH][SOCK]: shrink struct sock

Hi David,

	This saves 8 bytes out of struct sock in 64bit arches, tested on x86_64.

[acme@...a linux-2.6]$ codiff sock.o.before net/core/sock.o
/home/acme/git/linux-2.6/net/core/sock.c:
  struct sock |   -8
 1 struct changed
[acme@...a linux-2.6]$

Now struct sock has this layout, where we waste more 20 bytes, in four 4 byte
paddings in struct skb_buff_head members (layout at the bottom) + one 4 bytes
hole:

[acme@...a linux-2.6]$ pahole -C sock net/core/sock.o
