Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce holes.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct nvmet_ns' from 520 to 512
bytes.

Although this looks good, we at least need to document what
happens on other arch(s) which are not mentioned in the
commit log ? is there a possibility that someone might come
up with the contradictory data in future for the arch(s) which
arch that are not mentioned here ?
The change is certainly not going to make things _worse_ for any arch,
so I think that's somewhat of a pointless exercise and an unreasonable
ask for something that makes sense on 64-bit arm/x86 and saves half the
space.


disregard my comment, looks good...

Hi,


All my other nvmet patches have reached -next today, but this one seems to be missing.

So this is a gentle reminder, in case it got lost somewhere.
