So I've not yet wrapped my head around any of this; and I see a later
patch adds some paravirt gunk to this, but it does blow you can't keep
it a single cacheline for the sane case.

There is a 4-byte hole in the qnode structure for x86-64. I did try to make the additional PV fields used only 4 bytes so that there is no increase in size in the qnode structure unless we need to support 16K CPUs or more.
