what is this magic doing and what is wrong with
frame->num_tbs = num_tbs & 0x1f
Or do you expect to do something with the upper 3 bits?
Personally I think it is important that we always zero any data
structure and especially the reserved bits of it. Otherwise stuff just
magically seems to work, but it is pure luck if the right bits are set.
The overall patch looks good to me and I think it is the way to go. Less
home grown bit magic the better.

Marcel
