Looking at the 32-bit build, it looks like out current 'struct dentry'
is 136 bytes in size, not 128.
Looks like DNAME_INLINE_LEN should be reduced to 36 on 32-bit.
And moving d_lockref to after d_fsdata works there too.
Not that anybody really cares, but let's make sure it's actually
properly done when this is changed. Christian?
