Weird though, with or without that patch, my ia64-defconfig gives the
below layout.

$ pahole -EC sched_avg ia64-defconfig/kernel/sched/core.o
die__process_function: tag not supported (INVALID)!
struct sched_avg {
/* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int last_update_time; /* 0 8 */
/* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int load_sum; /* 8 8 */
/* typedef u64 */ long long unsigned int runnable_load_sum; /* 16 8 */
/* typedef u32 */ unsigned int util_sum; /* 24 4 */
/* typedef u32 */ unsigned int period_contrib; /* 28 4 */
long unsigned int load_avg; /* 32 8 */
long unsigned int runnable_load_avg; /* 40 8 */
long unsigned int util_avg; /* 48 8 */
struct util_est {
unsigned int enqueued; /* 56 4 */
unsigned int ewma; /* 60 4 */
} util_est; /* 56 8 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */

/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */
};

Awesome, I'll go get it merged, even though I don't understand where it
went wobbly.
