Subject: sysinfo padding question

Why is the padding for sysinfo for the kernel different from the libc
one for Musl?

/usr/include/linux/kernel.h has 	char
_f[20-2*sizeof(long)-sizeof(int)];	/* Padding: libc5 uses this.. */
/usr/include/sys/sysinfo.h has       char __reserved[256];

glibc just includes the kernel header from sys/sysinfo.h so both these
structs are the same size there, so not sure I see any rationale.
