I agree about the BIT definition. Will update if I send another
revision. Same for the 'mask'. I can see the confusion due to write and
mask in the same line.

64B fenced write is used only at a single place (in the preempt trigger
call). So I feel it is an overkill to create another function for that.
I did weigh that option earlier though.
