Ok,

Just committed to svn:
padding is now reset to 0, to comply with docs, and to avoid NaN

It's not certain that it even makes the function any slower -- the cache 
line is already in memory at that point, or at least speculatively 
allocated. And if you overwrite all parts of a cache line, certain 
architectures can even optimize that to not need to fetch from memory on 
line evict. Although I doubt that'll matter in this case :-)
