This is poorly named. How about "ss_mode = ss_flags & SS_MODE_MASK";

Actually, let's invert that.

#define SS_AUTODISARM (1U << 31)
#define SS_FLAG_BITS SS_AUTODISARM

ss_mode = ss_flags & ~SS_FLAG_BITS;

this way flag bits that are currently undefined will continue to trigger EINVAL.

OK, will do.
Though I am still going to keep SS_AUTODISARM =(1 << 4) -
it doesn't matter from what side we add new flags, does it?

Adding them starting with a high bit means that more low bits are
available for use as mode numbers. Admittedly, this barely matters.
