--- Comment #8 from Jeff Hansen <sqrammi at hotmail dot com> ---
Why would this be a bug in the kernel?

Why is gcc trying to load a word or short when it's a 4-bit bitfield?? So
you're recommending that we add __attribute__((packed)) to the struct? Is there
any other way/option to change this behavior?
