This split takes a binary approach: flags that are only modified pre/post open/close remain bitfields, flags modified from user action, including actions that reach across to another device (ex. reset) use dedicated storage units. Note that the virq_disabled and bardirty flags are relocated to fill an existing hole in the structure. Bitfield justifications: has_dyn_msix: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable() pci_2_3: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable() reset_works: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable() extended_caps: written only in vfio_cap_len() under vfio_config_init() has_vga: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable() nointx: written only in vfio_pci_core_enable() needs_pm_restore: written only in vfio_pci_probe_power_state() disable_idle_d3: written only at .init in vfio_pci_core_init_dev() Dedicated storage units: virq_disabled: written by guest INTx command writes in vfio_basic_config_write() while the device is open bardirty: written by guest BAR writes in vfio_basic_config_write() while the device is open pm_intx_masked: written in the runtime-PM suspend path. pm_runtime_engaged: written by low-power feature entry/exit paths needs_reset: set in vfio_pci_core_disable() and cleared for devices in the set by vfio_pci_dev_set_try_reset() sriov_active: written by vfio_pci_core_sriov_configure() via sysfs sriov_numvfs while bound.
