Hi Mike,
Many places in the code we use a pair of arguments with names like
"bits and mask" or "val and mask". This pattern allows us modify only
a subset of the bits in a given target word or register.
Assuming that "reg" is the value we are modifying, the result is
equivalent to
reg = (reg & ~mask) | (bits & mask)
We use this pattern because it allows us to atomically implement the
read/modify/write on for example the FPGA, where it's safe even in the
face of multiple processes trying to modify different bits in the same
register.
