why bitops.h? coz BIT qualifies for a "bitop" & bitops.h is inclued by kernel.h, hence accessible from every part of the tree without mucb efforts
I don't think there is anyone who objects to this
c>but it is not sutaible for those who want to go beyond this limit, as they will not be warned
And this is the reason for this overly long thread :)
So all we need is  people to be carefull  before passing anything to BIT
This is the difficult thing to do
so  now i think it should be ok to have

#define BIT(nr) (1UL << ((nr) % BITS_PER_LONG))
#define LLBIT(nr) (1ULL << (nr))

Since you guys seems in agreement about the silenced compiler-warnings, then I will rest my case.
