Current size of struct poll_table_entry is 0x38 on 64-bit kernels. 
Adding the key will make it 0x40 - which is not only a power of two 
but also matches cache line size on most modern CPUs.

So the size of this structure is ideal now and arithmetics on the 
poll table have become simpler as well.

So the patch has my ack:
