The existing FIELD_{GET,PREP}() macros are limited to compile-time
constants. However, it is very common to prepare or extract bitfield
elements where the bitfield mask is not a compile-time constant.
To avoid this limitation, the AT91 clock driver and several other
drivers already have their own non-const field_{prep,get}() macros.
Make them available for general use by adding them to
<linux/bitfield.h>, and improve them slightly:
1. Avoid evaluating macro parameters more than once,
2. Replace "ffs() - 1" by "__ffs()",
3. Support 64-bit use on 32-bit architectures,
4. Wire field_{get,prep}() to FIELD_{GET,PREP}() when mask is
actually constant.
This is deliberately not merged into the existing FIELD_{GET,PREP}()
macros, as people expressed the desire to keep stricter variants for
increased safety, or for performance critical paths.
Yury: use __mask withing new macros.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
