Use genmask:

enum hmm_pfn_flags {
	HMM_FLAGS_START = BITS_PER_LONG - PAGE_SHIFT,
	HMM_PFN_FLAGS = GENMASK(BITS_PER_LONG - 1, HMM_FLAGS_START),

	/* Output fields and flags */
	HMM_PFN_VALID = 1UL << HMM_FLAGS_START + 0,
	HMM_PFN_WRITE = 1UL << HMM_FLAGS_START + 1,
	HMM_PFN_ERROR = 1UL << HMM_FLAGS_START + 2,
	HMM_PFN_ORDER_MASK = GENMASK(HMM_FLAGS_START + 7, HMM_FLAGS_START + 3),

	/* Input flags */
	HMM_PFN_REQ_FAULT = HMM_PFN_VALID,
	HMM_PFN_REQ_WRITE = HMM_PFN_WRITE,
};
