The 7bit decoding routines are useful as is, I'll go ahead and use them.

However, the SMS decode in OpenBSC (gsm_04_11.c) is very nice but its
decoding everything we want to transmit and constructing everything we
want to decode! Not sure how to share that? Maybe some strings, structs
and numbers, unless it was an off the cuff suggestion or I am missing
something?

If you can propose a way to move us there incrementally (for the
CP/RP/SMS-DELIVER etc.), I'm all ears. I've only just dipped my toe in
the pool here don't forget :)
