This looks fine to me - is there any chance we can get this in to mainline
so we can avoid conflicts between this and some patches I'm working on atm
to fix the unsafe UP+SMP kernel combination with ARMs bitops ?
It's doing some stuff which needs to be done anyway (the casting to
unsigned long pointers for the ext2/minix find bit functions) which
otherwise will be duplicated in my patches.
