This patch changes the bitwise operations in bitops.h to get

No, this is a backwards step! These warnings are important for
non-arch-specific code: I fought hard to get them made into unsigned longs.
But I'm happy for this to be applied as is, then I'll grab the git tree,
revert it and fix the warnings...
Even before my processor.h patches, there are a lot of warnings caused by this.
If Ingo does not mind getting more warnings, I can drop this patch
entirely, and you (or someone else)
can fix them later on.
For any code that can be executed on a bigendian processor, those are
real bugs. For littleendian-only code they're arguably nuisance
warnings, but still...
