 offload HW bindings

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your review. These comments will be fixed in the next version of the patch (along with the ones you've shared for patches 14, 16 as well).

Best regards,
Mark.

This sort of code is not very readable.

Using val & 0x0000 is silly.

Using >> 0 and << 0 is pretty useless.

Masking a u16 with 0xffff is also pretty useless.

It seems a lot of this patch does this unnecessarily.
