Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct acpi_video_device'
from 264 to 256 bytes.
This size is much better when the struct is kmalloc()'ed.

Using pahole
Before:
======
struct acpi_video_device {
long unsigned int device_id; /* 0 8 */
struct acpi_video_device_flags flags; /* 8 1 */
struct acpi_video_device_cap cap; /* 9 1 */
/* XXX 6 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct list_head entry; /* 16 16 */
struct delayed_work switch_brightness_work; /* 32 184 */
/* XXX last struct has 4 bytes of padding */
/* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */
int switch_brightness_event; /* 216 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct acpi_video_bus * video; /* 224 8 */
struct acpi_device * dev; /* 232 8 */
struct acpi_video_device_brightness * brightness; /* 240 8 */
struct backlight_device * backlight; /* 248 8 */
/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */
struct thermal_cooling_device * cooling_dev; /* 256 8 */
/* size: 264, cachelines: 5, members: 11 */
/* sum members: 254, holes: 2, sum holes: 10 */
/* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
After:
=====
struct acpi_video_device {
long unsigned int device_id; /* 0 8 */
struct list_head entry; /* 8 16 */
struct acpi_video_device_flags flags; /* 24 1 */
struct acpi_video_device_cap cap; /* 25 1 */
/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */
int switch_brightness_event; /* 28 4 */
struct delayed_work switch_brightness_work; /* 32 184 */
/* XXX last struct has 4 bytes of padding */
/* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */
struct acpi_video_bus * video; /* 216 8 */
struct acpi_device * dev; /* 224 8 */
struct acpi_video_device_brightness * brightness; /* 232 8 */
struct backlight_device * backlight; /* 240 8 */
struct thermal_cooling_device * cooling_dev; /* 248 8 */
/* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 11 */
/* sum members: 254, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */
/* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 4 */
};
