I'm sorry, this is not specific to KVM tests (and indeed, I was not able to find
how this could be specific), but to any test built with clang (gcc simply does
not issue this error). Obviously the problem is for any 1 bit field member in
struct tst_test. The fix is quite simple - turn them to unsigned int.
