Did you run into any problem when including linux/bits.h? It would be
preferable to avoid redefining generic macros. I see the GENMASK defines
in tools/include/linux/bits.h and include/uapi/linux/bits.h.

If you are running into issues with the x86 selftests header includes,
the uapi one should be safe to use.

You probably just need:
#define GENMASK(h, l)		__GENMASK(h, l)

Same comment as patch 1:
#define LAM_UNTAG_MASK		~GENMASK(60, 57)

The rest of the patch looks fine.

With the above addressed,
