Thanks for the report Naresh! Andrii, I'm thinking the best
approach might be to remove use of int128 and have the bitfield
computations operate on a __u64 representation instead.  With
that change, we would only lose the ability to handle int128
bitfields; what do you think? I hope to have something ready
shortly covering that, the non-propogation of return values
and the endianness issues with enum handling - in fact the
latter goes away if the bitfield computations are done for
64-bit values.

Thanks!

Alan
