The Alpha EV4/EV5 cpus can corrupt adjacent byte and short data because
those cpus use RMW to store byte and short data. Thus, concurrent adjacent
byte stores could become corrupted, if serialized by a different lock.
tty_struct uses different locks to protect certain fields within the
structure, and thus is vulnerable to byte stores which are not atomic.

Merge the ->ctrl_status byte and packet mode bit, both protected by the
->ctrl_lock, into an unsigned long.

The padding bits are necessary to force the compiler to allocate the
type specified; otherwise, gcc will ignore the type specifier and
allocate the minimum number of bytes required to store the bitfield.
In turn, this would allow Alpha EV4/EV5 cpus to corrupt adjacent byte
or short storage (because those cpus use RMW to store byte and short data).

gcc versions < 4.7.2 will also corrupt storage adjacent to bitfields
smaller than unsigned long on ia64, ppc64, hppa64, and sparc64, thus
requiring more than unsigned int storage (which would otherwise be
sufficient to fix the Alpha non-atomic storage problem).
