Indeed, it appears to be utterly appalling. That was one of my
motivations for doing it with masks and shifts in the first place.

Because in ioapic_setup_msg_from_msi(), for example, these two are
consecutive in both source and destination:

	entry->vector			= msg.arch_data.vector;
	entry->delivery_mode		= msg.arch_data.delivery_mode;

And so are those:

	entry->ir_format		= msg.arch_addr_lo.dmar_format;
	entry->ir_index_0_14		= msg.arch_addr_lo.dmar_index_0_14;

But GCC 7.5.0 here is doing them all separately...

Still, this isn't really a fast path so I'm content to file the GCC PR
for the really *obvious* misses and let it take its course.
