Okay, but you're storing these two limits in the link structure.  So
the important difference between them is not x16 vs non-x16.  If it
were, you wouldn't have to store both, because you can easily convert
them with your new to_*() functions.

So, isn't there a better name for these? Maybe input_max/min_bpp and
output_max/min_bpp? You could keep the _x16 in the relevant one, but I
think the main difference between the two should be reflected in the
symbol names.
