CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK increases sizeof(spinlock_t) to 8 bytes. It leads to increase sizeof(struct page) by 4 bytes on 32-bit system if split page table lock is in use, since page->ptl shares space in union with longs and pointers.
Let's disable split page table lock on 32-bit systems with GENERIC_LOCKBREAK enabled. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
