The mask is wrong. The bitfield insns number the bits from MSB to LSB, not
the other way round, as the single bit insns do.  Also, a width of 0 is
replaced by 32.

     shift = 32 - (d2 & 0x1f);
     if (shift == 32) mask = 0, shift = 0;
     else mask = (1 << shift) - 1;
     *a1 = (*a2 & mask) | (d0 << shift);
