I'm sort of ambivalent about this patch, partly because it adds
these #defines that aren't used anywhere. Also, the "BASE" and "FULL"
names don't contain as much information as mentioning COMP32, COMP64,
and COMP128 does.

If we *do* want this, I think these combo definitions are beyond the
scope of uapi/linux/pci_regs.h, which generally is just
transliteration of register bits from the spec. They could possibly
go in linux/pci.h where pci_enable_atomic_ops_to_root() is declared.
