[PATCH] revision: reallocate TOPO_WALK object flags

The bit fields in struct object have an unfortunate layout. Here's what pahole reports on x86_64 GNU/Linux:

struct object {
	unsigned int               parsed:1;             /*     0: 0  4 */
	unsigned int               type:3;               /*     0: 1  4 */

	/* XXX 28 bits hole, try to pack */

	/* Force alignment to the next boundary: */
	unsigned int               :0;

	unsigned int               flags:29;             /*     4: 0  4 */

	/* XXX 3 bits hole, try to pack */

	struct object_id           oid;                  /*     8    32 */

	/* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* sum members: 32 */
	/* sum bitfield members: 33 bits, bit holes: 2, sum bit holes: 31 bits */
	/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};

Notice the 1+3+29=33 bits in bit fields and 28+3=31 bits in holes.

There are holes inside the flags bit field as well -- while some object flags are used for more than one purpose, 22, 23 and 24 are still free. Use 23 and 24 instead of 27 and 28 for TOPO_WALK_EXPLORED and TOPO_WALK_INDEGREE. This allows us to reduce FLAG_BITS by one so that all bitfields combined fit into a single 32-bit slot:

struct object {
	unsigned int               parsed:1;             /*     0: 0  4 */
	unsigned int               type:3;               /*     0: 1  4 */
	unsigned int               flags:28;             /*     0: 4  4 */
	struct object_id           oid;                  /*     4    32 */

	/* size: 36, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 36 bytes */
};

With this tight packing the size of struct object is reduced by 10%. Other architectures probably benefit as well.
