OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR() silences GCC 11 on my side (`-Warray-bounds` is
enabled via KCFLAGS), but now I'm wondering if it could possibly hide
really incorrect cases like you mentioned before (reading 8 bits
starting at 60 from a 64-bit bitmap).

So now I feel like it's a matter of extending the Kconfig threshold like
you said. The code is clearly valid.

Alternatively, we could trigger a build bug manually when offset, width
and map size are compile-time constants and suppress it otherwise. But
sounds pretty hacky.
