Hi Martin,

I'm going to have to ask that this patch be unstaged.

After some clarification from our VIOS folks I made the assumption that the MAD
size was staying the same and new fields just used up existing reserved padding.
Turns out they chose to keep the same amount of padding increasing the size of
those structures. So, this patch needs to be reworked.

Sorry about that,

-Tyrel
