Checkpatch doesn't like binary constants. I guess I will need to keep
the enum definitions in hex or decimal. I will remove the binary from
the comments though.

    checkpatch: warn when using gcc's binary constant ("0b") extension

    The gcc extension for binary constants that start with 0b is only
    supported with gcc version 4.3 or higher.

    The kernel can still be compiled with earlier versions of gcc, so have
    checkpatch emit a warning for these constants.

    Restructure checkpatch's constant finding code a bit to support finding
    these binary constants.
