If you're going to merge the above patch in 6.12, you'd normally send
it together with GENMASK_U128 preparation series, get an ACK from me
and Rasmus for bitops part and move through arm64 tree.

Whatever, I've merged it in bitmap-for-next for testing. Please keep
me posted for any following patches.

Thanks,
Yury
