I wasn't aware that it was the case, thanks for bringing this to light!
I'll make it 1UL then.

Sounds good! I find that the reverse wording (SHIFT_AND_MASK_BITS) would be
a bit more explicit since the shift happens prior to the mask.

Also we probably need to have parenthesis around "low", right?

Understood, I'll include it in that header for now and send a separate patch
for inclusion in linux/bits.h (apparently the preprocessor doesn't care about
redefinitions so we can just remove the cedrus fashion once the common one is
in).

What do you think?

Paul
