As part of the amdgpu transition, we are moving to using database generated register and packet headers. We have a number of options for formatting, some of which involve bitfields (don't worry there will also be shift/mask style headers as well which is mainly what we use in the code). I think these formats are cleaner for a number of cases, however, as far as I know, C does not define the ordering of bits within bitfields.

That's only the tip of the iceberg of issues with bit-fields.

No bit-fields, please.
