This is clearly not a pleasing change to make. As this specific data structure
and usage of bitfield has been discussed (along with the numerous issues in
clang/llvm around these). We also agreed to move away from bitfield for this
data structure and use a bitwriter. I would favour delaying this change to give
devs the time to port instead. Ping again if nothing moves within few weeks.

best regards,
Nicolas
