Add functions deposit32(), deposit64(), extract32() and extract64()
to extract and deposit bitfields in 32 and 64 bit words. Based on
ideas by Jia Liu and Avi Kivity.

Suggested-by: Jia Liu <proljc@gmail.com>
Suggested-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
---
Changes:
 v1->v2: added missing brackets
 v2->v3: renamed field32,field64 to extract32,extract64
         added deposit32,deposit64 at Avi's suggestion
         fixed assertion as per Jay Foad's suggestion
         bikeshed roof is now a slightly darker shade of grey

NB: the deposit functions differ slightly from Avi's proposal:
 * instead of taking a pointer which we modify, we return the updated
   value. (This matches the semantics of the TCG deposit op and also
   seems to me generally nicer)
 * the implementation permits deposits of the entire word (ie length 32/64)

NB: I'm planning to put this v3 into a target-arm pullreq at the end
of next week, since the LPAE patches depend on it, unless somebody
wishes to (a) object (b) commit it before then.

thanks

Small improvement would be to replace "Returns the" with "Returns: The"
in line with how you annotated the arguments, and the function summary
should go into its own paragraph between @foo: and Returns:.

Hmm. I was just following the existing practice in this file,
which consistently uses "Returns $whatever" without a colon.
memory.h uses "Returns $whatever" rather than "Returns: $whatever"
too. But I guess the doc you link to is the official statement
of the required syntax. How are these comments?

Looking fine. Didn't know about the "existing practice", I picked up
Anthony's object.h style and remembered adjusting that in qom-next.
