I am assuming that is defined somewhere?

Looking at the MBBI record definition, I see that Mask, ZRVl, ONVL, … FFVL are all ULONGS, which would allow a bit field to be defined that didn't depend on consecutive bits.  Seems that the limitation is that NOBT defines MASK.

If NOBT was set to 0 (I would take that meaning as "don't define mask"), seems MASK 'should' be able to be manipulated.

Looking in the ether-ip driver, it doesn't look like mask from the record is even used.  It builds it's own internally.

The limit/definition of the MBBx record types was that the bits were consecutive.
I think that you would have to use a calc record between the input and MBBx record to mask out the bits in between.
