At the current place members those follow are:
: upf_t flags;
: upstat_t status;
: int hw_stopped;
: unsigned int mctrl;
: unsigned int timeout;
: unsigned int type;
: const struct uart_ops *ops;
Together, they give (*ops) 8-byte align on 64-bit platforms.
And `sysrq_ch` introduces 4-byte padding.
On the other side, above:
: struct device *dev;
: unsigned char hub6;
: unsigned char suspended;
: unsigned char unused[2];
: const char *name;
Adds another 4-byte padding.
Moving sysrq members just before `hub6` allows to save 8 bytes
per-uart_port on 64-bit platforms:
On my gcc, x86_64 sizeof(struct uart_port) goes from 528 to 520.
