Yes, that was it all right. This was fixed by moving the two 'don't use'
inode fields before the union. (The variable-sized component of such structs
always has to come last.) I also cleaned up the formatting of my additions
along the lines discussed in the recent 'janitorial' thread.

Doing 'less /proc/slabinfo' shows the ext2 inode cache objects, at 416 bytes,
are now 64 bytes smaller than they used to be. More space could be saved by
relaxing the slab cache alignment for these objects from 64 bytes (686
cacheline) to 4 or 8 bytes. Has anybody checked to see if hardware cacheline
alignment for inodes is really a win?

This patch now appears stable enough for testing - I'm running it on my
server at the moment.

To Apply:

cd /your/2.4.17/tree
cat this/patch | patch -p0
