Thanks for the v3.

You should not be adding (static) functions before they have a caller as
this generates compiler warnings.

Please define the new helper functions when converting their call
sites. You can split the 8, 16 and 32-bit helpers in separate patches and
possibly also separate read and write if that makes sense in order to
keep the diffs smaller.

Instead of adding these FIXMEs and possibly risk introducing regressions
(these functions used to leave the previous values unchanged on errors),
how about adding the missing error handling first?
