Currently, optimize_bit_field_compare reads the bitfield in word_mode if it can. If the bit field is normally accessed in a smaller mode, this might be a violation of the memory model, although the "extra" part of the read is not used. But also, previous stores to the bit field will have been done in the smaller mode, and then bigger loads from it cause a LHS problem.
Bootstrapped and regchecked on powerpc64-linux. Is this okay for trunk?
