The test here is strictly checking whether the bitfield size is covered 
by underlying int type.
    struct t {
       int a:1;
       char b:8;
       ...
    }
In this case, for member "b", bitsize = 8, nr_copy_bits = 9, 
nr_int_data_bits = 8. nr_copy_bits > nr_int_data_bits, but it is legal.

This is a good question. BTF_INT_BITS() can be extended to maximum 
0xffff. There are bits available there.

When the kind_flag is set, the bitfield size can range from 1 to 255,
the same as today BTF_INT_BITS range. If user writes
struct t {
    ...
    int256 m:256;
    ...
};
The bitfield size information will not get encoded and the member "m" 
will just refer to a base type int256, the same as
struct t {
    ...
    int256 m;
    ...
};

Did you any problem with this?
