This + 16 should be + sizeof(__u16), right? It's just the
used_event_idx which has been added:

* __u16 available[num];
* __u16 used_event_idx;
*
* // Padding to the next align boundary.
* char pad[];
*
* [USED]

This is correct.

And, yes, since align is always 4096, it's currently just a cleanup, but
it makes things much less confusing!

Thanks,
Rusty.
