I wonder if we should use BIT_U* variants in the above to ensure the values are
valid. If so, we get a nice boundary check and we also can use a single
definition for the mask generation:

#define __GENMASK_U32(h, l) \
(((~U32(0)) - (U32(1) << (l)) + 1) & \
(~U32(0) >> (32 - 1 - (h))))
#define GENMASK_U32(h, l) \
(GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK(h, l) + __GENMASK_U32(BIT_U32(h), BIT_U32(l)))
#define GENMASK_U16(h, l) \
(GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK(h, l) + __GENMASK_U32(BIT_U16(h), BIT_U16(l)))
#define GENMASK_U8(h, l) \
(GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK(h, l) + __GENMASK_U32(BIT_U8(h), BIT_U8(l)))

Shouldn't this be GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK(8 - 1, nr)?
