sizeof() doesn't work correctly due to the flexible array contained in
struct vm_object. In some cases, GCC may add padding to such a structure
in such a way that sizeof() gives different results than offsetof()
(which is what we really want). This piece of code exposes the problem
on x86-64:
struct flex {
unsigned long b;
char a;
unsigned char f[];
};
In this case sizeof(struct flex) != offsetof(struct flex, f).
We fix the problem by replacing sizeof() with offsetof().
