I'm not aware of any problem about using 2 byte wide bitfields where
previously a 4 byte wide one was, holler if there is any, I wouldn't be
surprised, bitfields are things from hell.
For the curious, 432(30) means: at offset 432 from the struct start, at
offset 30 in the bitfield (yeah, it comes backwards, hellish, huh?) ditto
for 509(6), while 4(2) and 1(2) means "struct field size(bitfield size)".
Now we have a 2 bytes hole and are using only 4 bytes of the last 32
bytes cacheline, any takers? :-)
