Are you _sure_ it really will save that much memory?  You want to do
allocations based on a nice alignment for lots of good reasons,
especially for something that needs quick accesses.

Did you test your change on a system that relies on binder and find any
speed improvement or decrease, and any actual memory savings?

If so, can you post your results?
