    Add check_member macro to allow clean and easy struct offset checking
    
    This patch adds a new static assertion macro that can be used to check
    the offsets in structures that overlay register sets at compile time. It
    uses the _Static_assert() declaration from the new ISO C11 standard,
    which is supported (even without -std=c11) by GCC after version 4.6.
    (There is supposedly also support in clang, although I haven't tried
    it... let's deal with compiler issues when/if they turn up.)
    
    I've added it to all structures for our current ARM SoCs for now, and I
    think every new register overlay we add going forward should use them
    (at least for the last member, but feel free to add more if you think
    it's useful).
