Hi Bert,

As well as the feedback provided by Jakub elsewhere in this
thread I think it would be useful to CC the author of the above mentioned
commit, Alex Elder <elder@xxxxxxxxxx>. I have CCed him on this email.
Please consider doing likewise when you post v2.

FWIIW, I did take a look.
And I do agree with your maths: struct ipa_status was 32 (= 8 x 4) bytes long.
