Why are you even using bitfields at all?
If you cared about the structure size you'd not have a byte-size pad here.
Since I doubt many copies of this structure get allocated the
(typical) increase in code size for the bitfields will also
exceed any size saving.
Isn't the kernel style also to repeat the type for every field?
