Yeah, other edac drivers could benefit of using it, and also could benefit on a
variant that would do an AND operation and shift it, something like (untested):

/*
* Create a contiguous bitmask starting at bit position @lo and ending at
* position @hi. For example
*
* APPLY_BITMASK(v, 21, 39) will return the result of:
* (v & 0x000000ffffe00000) >> 21
*/
#define APPLY_BITMASK(v, lo, hi) (((v) & ((1ULL << ((hi) - (lo) + 1)) - 1) << (lo)) >> (lo))


Almost all edac drivers do something like the above, for example, to get DIMM rows/cols/banks, etc.

Probably, the most complex part is to find a nice name for it ;)

Yet, I think non-edac drivers could also benefit of such macro, and, as this is not
edac-specific, I think it would be better to add it at bitops.h.

Cheers,
Mauro
