The former is frequently accessed (e.g., in vfs_cache_lookup) and shares the
cacheline with v_usecount, avoidably adding to cache misses during concurrent
lookup. The latter is almost unused and probably can get garbage-collected.
The struct does not change in size despite enum vs char * discrepancy.
On 64-bit archs there used to be 4 bytes padding after v_type giving 480 bytes
in total.
