While inspecting some perf report, I noticed that the compiler emits suboptimal code for the napi CB initialization, fetching and storing multiple times the memory for flags bitfield. This is with gcc 10.3.1, but I observed the same with older compiler versions. We can help the compiler to do a nicer work clearing several fields at once using an u32 alias. The generated code is quite smaller, with the same number of conditional.
