On most platforms, the old struct had a padding hole before the FP
members, as well as after the character array.
By packing the integer members into bit fields, we compress five ints
incl. the padding hole (24 bytes) into 64 bits w/o padding (8
bytes). The size of the struct shrinks from 80 to 64 bytes, saving
almost 2KiB in TEXT size. Four bytes of tail padding remain, and are
available to grow the character array in the future.
More compactification could be had by changing the FP members (either
by turning them into floats and/or by making them a union over {mm,
in}, because one can be calculated from the other), but these are for
another patch, because they change return values.
