[PATCH] block: remove 16 bytes of padding from struct request on 64bits

[Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>]

Remove alignment padding to shrink struct request from 336 to 320 bytes
so needing one fewer cacheline and therefore removing 48 bytes from
struct request_queue.

patch against 2.6.34-rc1
compiled & tested on x86_64
