RE: ZONE_PADDING wastes 4 bytes of the new cacheline

As another "americanisim", "loaner" is something that is, or is to be, loaned out for
a time.

Usage:

"Where didyou get the fancy car?"
"It's a loaner, the dealer is fixing my hunk-of-junk."

I'd bet the comment is a spelling error, not that I have any real opinion... 8-)

 I don't understand what loner means.
online dict returns:
