[multiple variants of #defines like the above]

To improve readability and reduce possible copy/paste errors,
these would all benefit from a macro like

#define MLXBF_SM(val, type) 	\
	(((val) >> (MLXBF_ ## type ## _SHIFT)) & (MLXBF_ ## type ## _MASK)))

So these uses could become:

	serr = MLXBF_SM(dram_syndrom, SYNDROM__SERR);
	derr = MLXBF_SM(dram_syndrom, SYNDROM__DERR);
	syndrom =
MLXBF_SM(dram_syndrom, SYN);

etc...
