I discussed with Alex and Alice that it would be good to land the register!()
macro this cycle (having some local to register.rs bitfield support), so drivers
can start using it next cycle.

Subsequently, we can follow up on the discussions for global bitfield support.

For this purpose, it would be nice if I could pick up those two prerequisites as
part of this.
