The bits PF_IO_WORKER and PF_WQ_WORKER are tested together in sched_submit_work() which is considered to be a hot path. If the two bits cross the 8 or 16 bit boundary then most architecture require multiple load instructions in order to create the constant value. Also, such a value can not be encoded within the compare opcode. By moving the bit definition within the same block, the compiler can create/use one immediate value. For some reason gcc-10 on ARM64 requires both bits to be next to each other in order to issue "tst reg, val; bne label". Otherwise the result is "mov reg1, val; tst reg, reg1; bne label". Move PF_VCPU out of the way so that PF_IO_WORKER can be next to PF_WQ_WORKER.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
