/*
 * Abstract bitfield class
 *
 * Allows endianness-independent access to individual bitfields within some raw
 * integer value. The assembly generated by this class is identical to the
 * usage of raw bitfields, so it's a perfectly fine replacement.
 *
 * For BitField<X,Y,Z>, X is the distance of the bitfield to the LSB of the
 * raw value, Y is the length in bits of the bitfield. Z is an integer type
 * which determines the sign of the bitfield. Z must have the same size as the
 * raw integer.
 *
 *
 * General usage:
 *
 * Create a new union with the raw integer value as a member.
 * Then for each bitfield you want to expose, add a BitField member
 * in the union. The template parameters are the bit offset and the number
 * of desired bits.
 *
 * Changes in the bitfield members will then get reflected in the raw integer
 * value and vice-versa.
 *
 *
 * Sample usage:
 *
 * union SomeRegister
 * {
 *     u32 hex;
 *
 *     BitField<0,7,u32> first_seven_bits;     // unsigned
 *     BitField<7,8,u32> next_eight_bits;      // unsigned
 *     BitField<3,15,s32> some_signed_fields;  // signed
 * };
 *
 * This is equivalent to the little-endian specific code:
 *
 * union SomeRegister
 * {
 *     u32 hex;
 *
 *     struct
 *     {
 *         u32 first_seven_bits : 7;
 *         u32 next_eight_bits : 8;
 *     };
 *     struct
 *     {
 *         u32 : 3; // padding
 *         s32 some_signed_fields : 15;
 *     };
 * };
 *
 *
 * Caveats:
 *
 * 1)
 * BitField provides automatic casting from and to the storage type where
 * appropriate. However, when using non-typesafe functions like printf, an
 * explicit cast must be performed on the BitField object to make sure it gets
 * passed correctly, e.g.:
 * printf("Value: %d", (s32)some_register.some_signed_fields);
 *
 * 2)
 * Not really a caveat, but potentially irritating: This class is used in some
 * packed structures that do not guarantee proper alignment. Therefore we have
 * to use #pragma pack here not to pack the members of the class, but instead
 * to break GCC's assumption that the members of the class are aligned on
 * sizeof(StorageType).
 * TODO(neobrain): Confirm that this is a proper fix and not just masking
 * symptoms.
