These macros are way too gnarly, please simplify them.
For a start I'm not sure why you're making your life harder and try 
to have a shifted mask. Instead of masking the value before shifting.

Are you sure kernel can actually send you any flags here?
ops->supported_perout_flags exists

Are you sure kernel can send you an index higher than what driver
registered as supported?
