</div>While I know that you in fact can use bitpacked records to access singe<br>
bits in the memory, I wonder what kind of OS you want to use in this<br>
application.<br>
Usually the OS prevents accessing I/O in a userland application (but<br>
there are things like mmap'ing I/O space to userland by a driver or<br>
using "uio".<br>
