[Bug c/17384] [3.4/4.0 Regression] ICE with mode attribute on structures

Working on a fix for the ICE, but I'll warn you that this construct is 
erroneous.  You don't get to choose the mode for a structure; that's
determined by the layout routines.

As for your hardware registers, no there's no way to do this with a
structure.  You'll need to explicitly read these registers with an 
integer type.  You might look into the transparent union extension
that would let you cast between integer and structure types.
