[PATCH 05/17] prmem: shorthands for write rare on common types

[Igor Stoppa <igor.stoppa@gmail.com>]

Wrappers around the basic write rare functionality, addressing several
common data types found in the kernel, allowing to specify the new
values through immediates, like constants and defines.

Note:
The list is not complete and could be expanded.
