Is it a typo on "fsys entries is even"?

If not, then this change log is misleading. It is the instruction
patch list of FSYS_RETURN that can potentially cause other data
structures to be out of alignment. And number of FSYS_RETURN call
site will not necessarily match number of fsys entry.

Otherwise, the patch looks fine to me.

 In OpenVZ it is odd and we get misaligned kernel image,
 which does not boot.

Otherwise, the patch looks fine to me.
