32 bit mask

Contains the hardware writemask for the framebuffer. If a bit is set to one then the

corresponding bit in the framebuffer is enabled for writing, otherwise it is disabled. Only
applicable to configurations where the framebuffer supports a hardware writemask. In
cases where it is not supported, this register should NOT be written to.

If hardware writemasks are used then all the bits in the FBSoftwareWriteMask register

must be set to 1, so that software writemasking is disabled.

If the framebuffer is used in 8 bit packed mode, then an 8bit hardware writemask must be

repeated in all 4 bytes of the FBHardwareWriteMask register.

If the framebuffer is in 16 bit packed mode then the 16 bit hardware writemask must be

repeated in both halves of the FBHardwareWriteMask register.
