I'm not too keen on using `~0` here, since that also sets other bits in the
data field, and its somewhat opaque.

How painful is it to generate the data fields as with the C version of this
macro, so that we can pass in wzr explciitly for the two sub-fields?

Other than that, this looks good to me.

Thanks,
Mark.
