[PATCH 2/2] dm optimize: reorder structure

[Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>]

dm-optimize: reorder structure

This reorder actually improves performance by 20% (from 39.1s to 32.8s)
on x86-64 quad core Opteron.

I have no explanation for this, possibly it makes some other entries are
better cache-aligned.
