All architectures already have little-endian bitops for use by file-
systems that use little-endian allocation tables.  Since these are
more generally useful - Andrew Morton suggested we use them in the
sfc driver - they should be exposed under consistent names.  The
following patch series does that, using the names from
<asm-generic/bitops/le.h> but without the "generic_" prefix.

Ben.

The powerpc little-endian bitops have no arch-specific optimisations.

Remove clashing macros from these headers.

Is it completely impossible to move this #include to the top of the file?

I know that a lot of the current headers don't do this, and I don't
think it's a written rule with the kernel sources, BUT it's a nice
convention IMHO, and makes headers generally more maintainable. What
do you think?

It's probably entirely possible.

If you look at the current version of this header you'll see it
includes several other bitops headers at around this point.  I tend
to follow the conventions I see.
