For error returns I am thinking about carving up the return type, adding 
a new mask, and extension get type macro. Suggestions on carving up the 
following? Carve into type or subtype? other suggestions?

type: DAT_RETURN_CLASS    DAT_RETURN_TYPE    DAT_RETURN_SUBTYPE
bits:  31-30                                   
29-16                              15-0
