That's already possible.  You just connect an asyn record to that asyn
port.  The asyn record has a nice medm screen which lets you turn the
mask bits on and off.  Moreover, a single asyn record can be switched
between ports (and between asyn "addr" addresses) so you don't
necessarily need one asyn record for each port, a single asyn record per
IOC would be sufficient.

This is something I would really like to see (and no, AFAIK it isn't 
possible right now). An example of where this would be nice would be in 
the setting of asynTrace masks. When these are set to produce verbose 
console output, it can be difficult to turn them off by typing. Hooking 
them to EPICS records like multibit binaries could make it really 
convenient.
