So, this change was added because Yury suggested that I "..store
nmaskbits in the struct region, and avoid passing nmaskbits as a
parameter."
To which I originally noted "I considered that and went with the param
so as to not open the door to someone possibly using an uninitialized
struct value later."

Looking back, I had a similar thought as to yours, it seems...
I am also thinking more and more that nbits doesn't belong in the
region anyway - yes, a region gets validated against a specific nbits
eventually, but it doesn't need an nbits field to be a complete
specification. The region "0-3" is a complete specification for "the
1st four cores" and is as valid on a 4 core machine as it is on a 64 core
machine -- a validation we do when we deploy the region on that machine.
I will set this change aside and get the nbits value to getnum() another
way, and leave the region struct as it was -- without a nbits field.
This will also resolve having the macro handling of region that you were
not really liking.
Paul.
