Description
As jclulow pointed out in a bhyve-related code review, BITX is a convenient macro for extracting runs of bits from fields.
There are numerous cases where raw bit math is being done in the bhyve kernel today which could be replaced by more readable BITX expressions.
Update: With the addition of the bitset*() and bitx*() functions as part of #14727, it makes more sense to use those bounds-checked functions, rather than the macros.
