I never realized the kernel code was allowed to have that. But it is
everywhere! :-) Thanks. I've added and tested the following:

/*
 * The nbcon_state struct is used to easily create and interpret values that
 * are stored in the console.nbcon_state variable. Make sure this struct stays
 * within the size boundaries of that atomic variable's underlying type in
 * order to avoid any accidental truncation.
 */
static_assert(sizeof(struct nbcon_state) <= sizeof(long));

Note that I am checking against sizeof(long), the underlying variable
type. We probably shouldn't assume sizeof(atomic_long_t) is always
sizeof(long).

John
