So, do some reservation for it. 5 should be pretty enough, considering that we have barely touched it for a long while. Another reason to choose 5 is for cache alignment: 5 makes the struct 64 bytes for 64 bit machine. With this, it's confidence to say that we might be able to be free from the ABI violation forever.
