Instead of the match this can use genmask_checked_u64() and convert the Option
to a Result, once genmask is upstream.

No, we can't use genmask_u64(), `n` is not guaranteed to be known at compile
time, so we'd need to use genmask_checked_u64().

Of course, we could have a separate DmaMask constructor, e.g. with a const
generic -- not sure that's worth though.
