[PATCH] mm: reorder struct bio to remove padding on 64bit

[Richard Kennedy]

remove 8 bytes of padding from struct bio which also removes 16 bytes
from struct bio_pair to make it 248 bytes. bio_pair then fits into one
fewer cache lines & into a smaller slab.

Hi Neil,
This compiles but hasn't had any testing, as I don't have a raid to test
it on. 
patch against 2.6.28-rc6.
regards
Richard
