Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Expose little-endian bitops
Date: Sat, 31 May 2008 23:34:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080531223419.GA30769@solarflare.com> (raw)
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.
