        /* If the bitfield is volatile, we want to access it in the
           field's mode, not the computed mode.

context suggests that we may arrive with EXPAND_STACK_PARM here
which is a correctness modifier (see its docs).  But I'm not too familiar
with the details of the various expand modifiers, Eric may be though.

That said, I still believe that fixing the misalign path in expand_assignment
would be better than trying to avoid it.  For this testcase the issue is
again that expand_assignment passes the wrong mode/target to the
movmisalign optab.
