/*
 * Bitfield operations
 *
 * These are generic bitfield operations which allow manipulation of variable
 * width bitfields within a word. One use of this would be to use data tables
 * to determine how to reprogram fields within R/W hardware registers.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *            old_reg_val
 * +--------+----+---+--+-----+----------+
 * |        |    |   |  | old |          |
 * +--------+----+---+--+-----+----------+
 *
 *            new_reg_val
 * +--------+----+---+--+-----+----------+
 * |        |    |   |  | new |          |
 * +--------+----+---+--+-----+----------+
 *
 * mask = bitfield_mask(10, 5);
 * old = bitfield_extract(old_reg_val, 10, 5);
 * new_reg_val = bitfield_replace(old_reg_val, 10, 5, new);
 *
 * The numbers 10 and 5 could for example come from data
 * tables which describe all bitfields in all registers.
