The alloc_netdev_mq() tries to produce 32-bytes alignment for both the net_device itself and its private data. The second alignment is achieved by adding the NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST to the whole size of the memory to be allocated. However, for those devices that do not need the private area, this addition just makes the net_device weight 1024 + 32 = 1068 bytes, i.e. consume twice as much memory. Since loopback device is such (sizeof_priv == 0 for it), and each net namespace creates one, this can save a noticeable amount of memory for kernel with net namespaces turned on. After this set the lo device is actually allocated from a size-1024 kmem cache on i386 box even with NETPOLL and WIRELESS_EXT turned on.
