The present definition looks correct to me.  It did confuse me for a
moment until I noticed the '<='

> #define	VALID_DB_FIELD(x)	((x >= 0) && (x <= LAST_TYPE))

And similarly in dbf_type_is_valid().

It's actually not apparent to me that 'DBF_NO_ACCESS' can have any valid
use.  Other than appearing in dbf_text[] it doesn't seem to do anything.


And hey, what do you know.  RSRV isn't bounds checking the requested DBR
type code in event_add_action(), read_notify_action(), or read_action().
 It uses the dbr_size_n() macro which doesn't bounds check it's first
argument, or look for overflow.

I should have mentioned that this command is only useful after you commit.
