/**
* packing - Convert numbers (currently u64) between a packed and an unpacked
* format. Unpacked means laid out in memory in the CPU's native
* understanding of integers, while packed means anything else that
* requires translation.
*
* @pbuf: Pointer to a buffer holding the packed value.
* @uval: Pointer to an u64 holding the unpacked value.
* @startbit: The index (in logical notation, compensated for quirks) where
* the packed value starts within pbuf. Must be larger than, or
* equal to, endbit.
* @endbit: The index (in logical notation, compensated for quirks) where
* the packed value ends within pbuf. Must be smaller than, or equal
* to, startbit.
* @op: If PACK, then uval will be treated as const pointer and copied (packed)
* into pbuf, between startbit and endbit.
* If UNPACK, then pbuf will be treated as const pointer and the logical
* value between startbit and endbit will be copied (unpacked) to uval.
* @quirks: A bit mask of QUIRK_LITTLE_ENDIAN, QUIRK_LSW32_IS_FIRST and
* QUIRK_MSB_ON_THE_RIGHT.
*
* Return: 0 on success, EINVAL or ERANGE if called incorrectly. Assuming
* correct usage, return code may be discarded.
* If op is PACK, pbuf is modified.
* If op is UNPACK, uval is modified.
