Bodong Wang cd2a6e7d38 IB/core: Fix ib_wc structure size to remain in 64 bytes boundary
The change of slid from u16 to u32 results in sizeof(struct ib_wc)
cross 64B boundary, which causes more cache misses. This patch
rearranges the fields and remain the size to 64B.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
