My feeling, personally, is that GENMASK() really isn't worth the pain
it causes.  Can we instead get rid of this thing and just use easier
to understand and less error-prone hex masks please?

I don't care what anyone else says, personally I'm going to stick with
using hex masks as I find them way easier to get right first time than
a problematical opaque macro - and I really don't want the effort of
finding out that I've got the arguments wrong when I build it.  It's
just _way_ easier and less error prone to use a hex mask straight off.
