In particular, `GENMASK_ULL` and `FIELD_GET` can be written as normal functions, no need for macros (and can be `const fn` too -- i.e. can be evaluated at compile-time if needed). As you see, it looks remarkably similar, and there is no `unsafe` because we pass the array of bytes instead of a raw pointer. The caller needs to get the array from somewhere, of course -- if you only have a raw pointer to start with, then the caller will need an `unsafe` line to dereference it, as usual. Cheers, Miguel
