Fields of struct pipe_buf_operations have not a precise layout (ie not
optimized to fit cache lines nor reduce cache line ping pongs)
The bufs[] array is *large* and is placed near the beginning of the
structure, so all following fields have a large offset. This is
unfortunate because many archs have smaller instructions when using small
offsets relative to a base register. On x86 for example, 7 bits offsets
have smaller instruction lengths.
Moving bufs[] at the end of pipe_buf_operations permits all fields to have
small offsets, and reduce text size, and icache pressure.
# size vmlinux.pre vmlinux

3268765 664356 492196 4425317 438665 vmlinux
So this patch reduces text size by 224 bytes on my x86_64 machine. Similar
results on ia32.
