Boolean should take true/false.

Looking at the given context, I would group it with clean_on_unmask above.

The above is weird enough on its own. Can you prepare a precursor
patch that either drops the bit fields of booleans or moves them to
unsigned int?

Note, bit fields in C are beasts when it goes to concurrent access. It
would be nice to ensure these are not the cases of a such.
