Subject: [PATCH V4 08/11] vfio/pci: Use bitfield for struct vfio_pci_core_device flags
Date:   Thu, 27 Apr 2023 10:36:05 -0700
Message-Id: <42397f8cd0419694797c6c5cf65ed715117fc760.1682615447.git.reinette.chatre@intel.com>

struct vfio_pci_core_device contains eleven boolean flags.
Boolean flags clearly indicate their usage but space usage
starts to be a concern when there are many.

An upcoming change adds another boolean flag to
struct vfio_pci_core_device, thereby increasing the concern
that the boolean flags are consuming unnecessary space.

Transition the boolean flags to use bitfields. On a system that
uses one byte per boolean this reduces the space consumed
by existing flags from 11 bytes to 2 bytes with room for
a few more flags without increasing the structure's size.
