Subject: [PATCH] bitfield.h: add FIELD_MAX() and field_max()

Define FIELD_MAX(), which supplies the maximum value that can be
represented by a field value.  Define field_max() as well, to go
along with the lower-case forms of the field mask functions.

 NOTE:	I'm not entirely sure who owns/maintains this file so
	I'm sending it to those who have committed things to it.
	I hope someone will just take it in after review; I use
	field_max() in some code I'm about to send out.
