[RFC (v7)] add basic register-field manipulation macros

[Jakub Kicinski]

Hi!

This is what I came up with.  Changes:
 - drop the explicit type marking (u32/u64) - depend on the type
   of the mask instead;
 - only allow compilation time constant masks;
 - barf at "type of register too small to ever match mask" on get;
 - rename PUT -> PREP.

I did not put the new marcos in bitops.h (where GENMASK lives)
because of the dependency on bug.h.  If I did there would be
a circular dependency like this:

bitops.h -> linux/bug.h -> asm-generic/bug.h -> kernel.h -> bitops.h

Which makes things really ugly.  I tried to remove the kernel.h
include from bug.h by separating panic-related definitions into
a new header.  There were still cycles coming from the notifier.h
which I had to include for panic notifier...
