no need for a bitfield here, this is a simpler selector
bitfield is for cases when we need to update some persistent
state, in that case we want to indicate which bits we intend
to update:

	cfg = (cfg & ~bf.mask) | bf.val

scope is a straight attribute, there's no updating of anything.

u32 or unit would do

do we need this? it's not an attr enum all we care about here is 
the mask, really so just a trailing value which is max real value + 1
is enough for all users?

we have genl_info_dump(cb) 3 times here, let's save the pointer 
on the stack to make the lines shorter.
