I used pahole to check the structure layout. It is good to see that
bool fields are packed into single cache line (and we don't expect
these fields to modified frequently so no concern for false sharing).

  /* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */

  u16                        ccitmin;              /*   120     2 */
  u8                         s_ex_level;           /*   122     1 */
  u8                         ns_ex_level;          /*   123     1 */
  u8                         q_support;            /*   124     1 */
  u8                         os_lock_model;        /*   125     1 */
  bool                       sticky_enable:1;      /*   126: 0  1 */
  bool                       boot_enable:1;        /*   126: 1  1 */
  bool                       os_unlock:1;          /*   126: 2  1 */
  bool                       instrp0:1;            /*   126: 3  1 */
  bool                       q_filt:1;             /*   126: 4  1 */
  bool                       trcbb:1;              /*   126: 5  1 */
  bool                       trccond:1;            /*   126: 6  1 */
  bool                       retstack:1;           /*   126: 7  1 */
  bool                       trccci:1;             /*   127: 0  1 */
  bool                       trc_error:1;          /*   127: 1  1 */
  bool                       syncpr:1;             /*   127: 2  1 */
  bool                       stallctl:1;           /*   127: 3  1 */
  bool                       sysstall:1;           /*   127: 4  1 */
