Only at CodeGen we definitely know if an access is volatile, due casts to 
volatile.
About undoing what the CGRecordLowering does, that can't be avoided. We only 
can compute if a given offset and width will touch outside the bit-field when 
all fields and padding are defined.
We could add special volatile access fields into CGBitFieldInfo and compute 
them at the end for CGRecordLowering::lower, but these fields would only be 
relevant to ARM. And they will need to be computed even if there are any 
volatile accesses.
I have no strong opinion about which is better, I can add the fields if that 
suites better.
