+If a register's value is composed from several separate values, define
+it with a structure type.  There are two forms of the @samp{<struct>}
+element; a @samp{<struct>} element must either contain only bitfields
+or contain no bitfields.  If the structure contains only bitfields,
+its total size in bytes must be specified, each bitfield must have an
+explicit start and end, and bitfields are automatically assigned an
