Hello!

These patches extract and enhance the bitfield support in the register macro in
nova to define Rust structures with bitfields. It then moves out the bitfield
support into the kenrel crate and further enhances it. This is extremely useful
as it allows clean Rust structure definitions without requiring explicit masks
and shifts.

See [1] example code using it.

v4 of the patches are at:

v3 of the patches are at:

v2 of the patches are at:

v1 of the patches are at:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250824135954.2243774-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com/

v4->v5:
* Added 2 hardening patches to catch the misuse of the API.
* Limited access to the inner value of the struct.
* Fixed kunit tests
* Addressed feedback from lots of folks (Miguel, Alexandre, Yury, Danilo).
* Added Alex tags to most patches.

v3->v4:
* Rebased on -next.
* Added more test cases.
* Added support for fields larger than the struct
  (ex, using 'as u32' for a u8 struct.)

v2->v3:
* Renamed bitstruct to bitfield.
* Various suggestions to improve code (Alex, Yury, Miguel).
* Added reviewed-by tags from Elle Rhumsaa.
* Added KUNIT tests including tests for overlap.
* Added F: maintainers file entry for new files under BITOPS.

v1->v2:
* Use build_assert in bitstruct
* Split move and enhance patches for easier review
* Move out of Nova into kernel crate for other drivers like Tyr which will use.
* Miscellaneous cosmetic improvements.
