I'm unsure what you're correcting here. These bitfields are inherently
signed, "int local:1" and "int waiting:1" are signed. They can have one
of two values, 0 or -1. So I don't know what you're saying in your
changelog.

This patch would only make sense if something is testing `local' or
`waiting' to be equal to 1. Is that what you're fixing? If so, please
specify it in the changelog with an example.
