Mina already went with your suggestion and that is fine. To me, struct
netmem is more aesthetically aligned with the existing struct
encoded_page approach, but I don't have a strong opinion one way or
the other. However it seems like you have a stronger preference for
__bitwise approach. Is there a technical reason or just aesthetic?
