Oh, I didn't notice, for a really silly reason: I looked at how you had changed DNAME_INLINE_LEN_MIN on 64-bit, and noticed that you were using 8 bytes for your sequence lock. But that's only true due to the padding things, and the seqcount itself is indeed just 4 bytes. Sad. But we do have the added requirement that we want to keep the commonly used fields together in the same cacheline, so maybe it's unavoidable.
