mainlining shenanigans

Neither of these values get even close to 256; compound_dtor is
currently at a maximum of 3, and compound_order can't be over 64. No
machine has inefficient access to bytes since EV5, and while those are
still supported, we don't optimise for them any more. This does not
shrink struct page, but it removes an ifdef and frees up 2-6 bytes for
future use.
diff of pahole output:
struct callback_head callback_head; /* 32 16 */
struct {
long unsigned int compound_head; /* 32 8 */
- unsigned int compound_dtor; /* 40 4 */
- unsigned int compound_order; /* 44 4 */
+ unsigned char compound_dtor; /* 40 1 */
+ unsigned char compound_order; /* 41 1 */
}; /* 32 16 */
}; /* 32 16 */

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
