Shifting a `Bounded` left or right changes the number of bits required
to represent the value. Add methods that perform the shift and return a
`Bounded` with the appropriately adjusted bit width.
These methods are particularly useful for bitfield extraction.

This patch doesn't apply cleanly. Looks like you send it from the wrong base
commit.
The __new call here is still safe while your code has `unsafe {}` in it.

The returned bound can be larger given the assert below?

Quite surprised that rustfmt didn't ask for the block to be expanded into
multiple lines.
I think we probably want to create a new assert macro for this pattern
(obviously this doesn't block this patch).

Same, the bound can be actually larger.

The cover letter mentions that the base for this patchset is
`driver-core-next`, since `register!` lands in `kernel/rust/io` and we
need to rebase on top of Zhi's Io patchset, which will land there as
well.
This indeed creates a minor conflict with `rust-next` as it includes a
couple of patches for `bounded.rs`.

Indeed, I forgot to update this comment - thanks!

Fixed, thanks.
