[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/3] memory: Align MemoryRegionSections fields

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <address@hidden>

MemoryRegionSection includes an Int128 'size' field;
on some platforms the compiler causes an alignment of this to
a 128bit boundary, leaving 8 bytes of dead space.
This deadspace can be filled with junk.

Move the size field to the top avoiding unnecessary alignment.
