The whole point of the tool is that we can use the bit numbers that are
specified within the architecture document, with the additional odd IBM bit
numbering scheme. Where the most significant bit has bit number 0(!).

So, this is wrong. It should be " << 63" to match the existing code.

And this is exactly what I want to avoid: start counting from zero again if
we cross a double word. It _must_ read 73, 75, otherwise this becomes the
unmaintainable and error prone mess we had before.

I just want a list with bit numbers and the rest must be created
automatically.
