yeah, thanks for the reminder, this is on my todo list. As i suspect you 
noticed it too, much of the task_struct size increase is not fundamental 
and not related to 64-bit math at all - it's simply debug and 
instrumentation overhead.

Look at the following table (i386, nodebug):

                         size 
                         ----
    pre-CFS              1328
        CFS              1472
        CFS+patch        1376 

the very small patch below gets rid of 96 bytes. And that's only the
beginning.
