One possible solution would be to shrink bi_flags to an unsigned int, no

As long as we use set/test/clear_bt on bi_flags that won't work unfortunately.
Right, I don't think we need to do that though. If you look at the flags
usage, it's all over the map. Some use test/set_bit, some set it just by
OR'ing the mask. There's no reason we can't make this work without
relying on set/test_bit, and then shrink it to an unsigned int.
