Thanks for this series.  I read through it and sent a few notes.

"ptype/o" is basically pahole FWIW.

I tend to think that in most cases, the size of objects doesn't really
matter.  I mean, obviously we don't want to bloat them unnecessarily,
but for something like this, I just wouldn't worry much... and if we did
care there's probably some other way we could shrink them than worrying
about packing.

In the olden days pretty much the only thing really worth worrying about
was partial symbols.  Now I guess it would be cooked_index_entry.
