struct error_info has 6 bytes of padding on x86_64 (and I assume also
other 64 bit platforms). This currently amounts to about 4k of wasted
space (and presumably a third of that on 32 bit).

We can avoid that by keeping the codes and the strings in separate
arrays. Keeping those in sync should be easy enough if we use the
standard trick of including a table twice.

Patch 2/2 would be something like below; 1/2 is a 1600 line purely
mechanical thing which I won't spam the lists with unless someone else
thinks this is a good idea.

What do you think?

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] scsi: split additional[] array in two

struct error_info has 6 bytes of padding (on 64 bit platforms), which
amounts to over 4K of wasted space in the additional[]
array. Splitting it in two avoids that waste. A BUILD_BUG_ON and the
fact that the two arrays are generated from the same include file
should keep these two arrays in sync.

Hi Rasmus,

I like this idea.  But maybe it's also time to just move the constants
to a plain text file and auto-generate C headers from them?  That way
the format in which they can be edited is decoupled from the
representation in the kernel image.
