Unfortunately not:

kernel/futex.c:265:30: error: ‘__futex_data’ undeclared here (not in a function)
kernel/futex.c:265:1: error: requested alignment is not an integer constant

Yeah, wasting >= 48 bytes was the reason I didn't make it
____cacheline_aligned. If 8 bytes is also too much, I suppose one could
just give the struct a tag and then use sizeof(struct futex_data).
