/*
* Bitfield access macros
*
* FIELD_{GET,PREP} macros take as first parameter shifted mask
* from which they extract the base mask and shift amount.
* Mask must be a compilation time constant.
*
* Example:
*
* #define REG_FIELD_A GENMASK(6, 0)
* #define REG_FIELD_B BIT(7)
* #define REG_FIELD_C GENMASK(15, 8)
* #define REG_FIELD_D GENMASK(31, 16)
*
* Get:
* a = FIELD_GET(REG_FIELD_A, reg);
* b = FIELD_GET(REG_FIELD_B, reg);
*
* Set:
* reg = FIELD_PREP(REG_FIELD_A, 1) |
* FIELD_PREP(REG_FIELD_B, 0) |
* FIELD_PREP(REG_FIELD_C, c) |
* FIELD_PREP(REG_FIELD_D, 0x40);
*
* Modify:
* reg &= ~REG_FIELD_C;
* reg |= FIELD_PREP(REG_FIELD_C, c);

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
