I am currently working on a driver for a PCI card. To access this card I have 
writen a small uio kernel driver for Linux based on the concept from mrfio2. 

In the asynDriver that I'm working on I use devlib2 to get access to the 
mapped memory regions of the card following the concept of evrMrmApp from 
mrfio2.  In mrfCommon a lot of macros (BITSET, BITCLR, READS and WRITE for 
various bitwidth) are defined. 

Should these macros not be part of devlib2? This way other modules could 
profit from this work much easier. Pulling these files into my project would 
require to install the mrfio2 module even if I do not have the hardware. Not 
thinking about license conflicts that might arise if I copy the code over to 
my project.
