Well, for pretty much no function is it obvious from the function name
what the parameter order is; it's just one of those things you memorize
or look up. The exact same issue exists for clrsetbits_le32() itself IMHO.

Still, I can rename the function if you want; it certainly does make it
obvious. It's rather a long name though, but I guess wrapping the
parameters isn't too bad.
