Yup, I've done away with the bitfields and switched to a mix of __le16

I suppose the struct should get __attribute__((packed)) then.
I guess it wouldn't harm, but is it really necessary? Would gcc ever insert
padding here, all the 32 bit fields a 32 bit aligned, and so are the 16 bit
fields.
But is the order of two adjacent __le16 fields (i.e. two halves of a
quadlet) independent of host byte order?
Yeah, it works for both be and le cpus. The layout is le specific, which is
how the host controller wants it.
cheers,
