I'm not sure how you are using "bitfield type" here; could you post an
example? i.e. do you mean:
int x:7;
or
struct { int x:7; int y:25; } z;
I'm wondering if you're describing the latter case, in which case the
problem is that we're calling value_to_register on only part of the
value we want in the register.
