Did you verify that with "make checkstack" or just by looking at the
source code? On my system, pkt_open() consumes 584 bytes because the
compiler decides to inline lots of functions that would not normally
be part of long call chains. The following patch fixes that problem on
my system.

Maybe dm_bio_destructor() is just old cruft left on the stack from
previous function calls?
