OK, sure. I used pahole and asked it to reorganize the struct members,
which saves 24 bytes.

I'll update this commit to include the following reorganization in the v2 of
this set:

$ pahole -R -C i40e_q_vector i40e.ko

struct i40e_q_vector {
	struct i40e_vsi *          vsi;                  /*     0     8 */
	u16                        v_idx;                /*     8     2 */
	u16                        reg_idx;              /*    10     2 */
	u8                         num_ringpairs;        /*    12     1 */
	u8                         itr_countdown;        /*    13     1 */
	bool                       arm_wb_state;         /*    14     1 */

	/* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */

	struct napi_struct         napi;                 /*    16   400 */
	/* --- cacheline 6 boundary (384 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
	struct i40e_ring_container rx;                   /*   416    32 */
	/* --- cacheline 7 boundary (448 bytes) --- */
	struct i40e_ring_container tx;                   /*   448    32 */
	cpumask_t                  affinity_mask;        /*   480    24 */
	struct irq_affinity_notify affinity_notify;      /*   504    56 */
	/* --- cacheline 8 boundary (512 bytes) was 48 bytes ago --- */
	struct callback_head       rcu;                  /*   560    16 */
	/* --- cacheline 9 boundary (576 bytes) --- */
	char                       name[32];             /*   576    32 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	int                        irq_num;              /*   612     4 */

	/* size: 616, cachelines: 10, members: 14 */
	/* sum members: 611, holes: 2, sum holes: 5 */
	/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};   /* saved 24 bytes! */
