If you need the cast then probably not...

There really ought to be a compile-time test (somehow)
that set_bit() is only used on large bit arrays.

OTOH atomic_or32/64() and atomic_and32/64() might use
usable in many places.

On x86 I doubt it makes much difference whether you use
'bis' or 'lock or'.
