Isn't an implicit offset enough? As in first mask for a specific
modifier is for format indexes 0-63, second mask for the same modifier
is for 64-127, and so on.

The bigger issue is the userspace side I think. If we don't add the
userspace side code to handle this case from the get go, it's going to
be hard to actually start doing it from the kernel side.
