The isa_mode() macro extracts two fields, and recombines them into a

I'd recommend avoiding the suggestion that the explicit "- 1" could
be misinterpreted as an off-by-one error.
 #define isa_mode(regs) \
-	((((regs)->ARM_cpsr & PSR_J_BIT) >> (__ffs(PSR_J_BIT) - 1)) | \
-	 (((regs)->ARM_cpsr & PSR_T_BIT) >> (__ffs(PSR_T_BIT))))
+	((FIELD_GET(PSR_J_BIT, (regs)->ARM_cpsr) << 1) | \
I'd suggest getting rid of the extra unnecessary parens there.
Too many parens leads to a decrease in readability.
