I'd prefer if it was under a config option considering it'd waste 8
bytes of memory for every dentry in the system, if you don't ever use
it because you use other types of virt that solves the guest memory
partitioning without any change to the host OS. Same may apply to
other parts of the patch (yeah, maybe SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN won't change
memory footprint of dcache today, I didn't actually count but dentry
may change tomorrow making the dentry require one more cacheline that
is not cheap at all in memory footprint terms). I don't think all
distro are enabling all host support you need in the first place, so I
don't think it should be a problem for you if this goes under a config
option, surely I'd be more comfortable with that.
