[PATCH v2] powerpc: add setmaskedbits macros

[Timur Tabi]

This patch adds the setmaskedbits_xxx() macros, which are used to set a
multiple-bit bit pattern in a register.  The macros include a mask, which
zeros the respective bits before applying the value via a bitwise-OR.
There are big-endian and little-endian versions for 8, 16, 32, and 64 bits.

These new macros are useful because the setbits macros can only be used 
to set single-bit fields.  For example, if you have a 32-bit register 
where bits 17-20 need to be set to 0100, you would do  
setmaskedbits_be32(p, 4 << 11, 0xF << 11).

Updated the changelog to include a reason why you'd want these macros.
I have a number of new SOC device drivers coming up that will use these
macros, if this patch is accepted.
