Right now, the members ->state_use_accessors and ->features of
struct clock_event_device occupy an int each which is way more than needed:
the former can only take one of the five different values from
enum clock_event_state while the latter is a bitmask with the highest
CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_* bit defined so far being the ninth.
Both members are located in the first cacheline and thus, packing them into
a single int would free some precious space there.
Turn both members into appropriately sized bitfields.
