I don't think it matters, at least not on x86_64. bools and chars both
require a byte. pahole does show this adding a new hole, but that's
just because this brings the code up to 5 flags and the next field
(fh_pre_size) needs to be aligned.
I do agree that replacing those other unsigned chars with bools is more
clear however. Maybe we should even replace them all with a single
unsigned int and use bitops to set flags in there. That would be more
space efficient now that we're at 5 flags.
