    remove 8 bytes of padding from struct nfs_fattr on 64 bit builds
    
    This also removes padding from several nfs structures, including
    16 bytes from  nfs4_opendata, nfs4_createdata,nfs3_createdata
    & 8 bytes from nfs_read_data,nfs_write_data,nfs_removeres,nfs4_closedata
    
    This also reduces the reported stack usage of many nfs functions (30+).

    ----
    
    This patch is against the latest git 2.6.27-rc4.
    I've built & run this on my AMD64 desktop, & successfully run _simple_
    tests with a  64 bit client => 32 bit server & 32 bit client to 64 bit
    server.
    
    On fedora with gcc (GCC) 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8) checkpatch
    reports 33 functions with reduced stack usage.
    e.g.
    __nfs_revalidate_inode [nfs] 216 => 200
    _nfs4_proc_access [nfs] 304 => 288
    _nfs4_proc_link [nfs] 536 => 504
    _nfs4_proc_remove [nfs] 304 => 288
    _nfs4_proc_rename [nfs] 584 => 552
    nfs3_proc_access [nfs] 272 => 256
    nfs3_proc_getacl [nfs] 384 => 368
    nfs3_proc_link [nfs] 496 => 464
    etc
    I can supply the complete list if anyone is interested.
    
    regards
    Richard
