Here, can you also add a comment describing limitations, like
unsigned base types only, prohibited names, rules for unallocated
bits.
The motivation is simple: you demonstrate which behavior is intentional,
and which is implementation detail. So that, if someone changes the code,
he'd have to walk through the test to ensure consistency, and if that
doesn't hold - inspect the codebase for the corner cases.

Does this engine supports non-sequential enumeration, like:
0 => Ok(MemoryType::Unmapped),
1 => Ok(MemoryType::Normal),
2 => Err(value.get()),
3 => Ok(MemoryType::Reserved),
_ => Err(value.get()),
If so, can you add a test for it? (This is a real example from my
working place, FWIW.)

Can you add bit 63 in the list? The highest and lowest bits must be
covered in some test. Maybe create a separate subtest, if you don't
want to touch this one?

For the purpose of testing, I think it's more clear to give names that
are meaningful in the testing context, like u16reg, u8reg, and so on.
Where is the 32-bit register by the way? Is it omitted on purpose?

I understand, you want the test looking more realistic. But giving
'real' names may mislead and distract. Instead, can you name the
fields such that they underline the testing intention.
For example, this part may look like:
7:4 split_field;
7:6 split_field_hi;
5:4 split_field_lo => Priority;
So later in the code, you may add another trivially looking consistency
check:
assert!(split_field == (split_field_hi << 2) | split_field_lo)

Don't you have the .into() for it? Do you encourage to use that
placeholder instead of the method in some cases? Can you elaborate?

I can't find try_with in the test. Can you test it too?
Can I chain it like:
let bitfield = TestU64Entry::zeroes()
.try_with_present(val1)
.try_with_writable(val2)
...
