Longest type measured as strlen(typename). :)  I.e.:

struct foo {
        const volatile f_cv;
        volatile int f_int;
        const char *f_name;
        struct mtx f_lock;
        u_int64_t f_64;
        int f_type;
};

The reason is more obvious in a struct with multiple elements of the same
type:

struct new_lock_object {
        STAILQ_ENTRY(new_lock_object) lo_list;
        struct lock_class *lo_class;
        struct witness *lo_witness;
        const char *lo_name;
        const char *lo_wname;
        u_int lo_flags;
};
