Can you define some constants so others can see just what the bits  
mean
without digging up documentation, instead of just doing magic numbers?

[my favourite argument :-) ]

You'll have to read the documentation to properly understand what
the bit patterns mean anyway.  And if you use symbolic names, you
only add another step: hunting through header files.

Sure, that's why we should remove every symbolic constant in every
driver anywhere in the kernel right ? Sure would help.
