DocBook changes need do a s/2.6.41/3.1/.
That's said, I'm not sure if it is a good idea to add bitmask type, instead of
just using a set of boolean controls. One of the issues with bitmasks is the
endness type: LE, BE or machine endianness. The specs don't mention how this
is supposed to work.
Also, I'd like to see a patch like that submitting with a driver or feature
that needs it. Before you ask: no, vivi doesn't count ;)
