Probably best if the relevant maintainer pick them up individually.

Some of those structures are filled in by firmware/hardware and only the 
maintainers can judge if that value actually matches what the compiler 
needs.

We have cases where individual bits are used as flags or when the size 
is byte swapped etc...

Even Alex and I didn't immediately say how and where that field is 
actually used and had to dig that up. That's where the confusion came from.

Christian.
