There are theoretical concerns that some compilers might not trigger
build failures on attempts to define an array of size (x ? -1 : 1) where
x is a variable and make it a variable sized array instead. Let rewrite
using a struct with a negative bit field size instead as there are no
dynamic bit field sizes.  This is similar to what Linux does.

On one of the earlier review spins, I suggested making it explicit that
we are now requiring that the condition be a compile-time constant (you
got that wording in 2/23, but not here) - food for thought if you have
to respin this.
