What we need are generic set_bit_aligned() and clear_bit_aligned(), which align the ptr
by unsigned long. (I think it should be done in set_bit/clear_bit, for architecture
which requires aligned access...)

#define LONG_ALIGN_DIFF(p)	(p) & (sizeof(long) -1)
#define LONG_ALINGNED(p)		(p) & ~(sizeof(long) - 1)

static inline void set_bit_aligned(int bit, unsigned long *ptr)
{
	int offs = LONG_ALIGN_DIFF(ptr) * 8;

#ifdef __BIGENDIAN
	if (bit >= offs) {
		set_bit(bit - offs, LONG_ALIGNED(ptr));
	} else {
		set_bit(bit + BITS_PER_LONG - offs, LONG_ALIGNED(ptr) + 1);
	}
#else
	if (bit < BITS_PER_LONG - offs) {
		set_bit(bit + offs, LONG_ALIGNED(ptr));
	} else {
		set_bit(bit - BITS_PER_LONG + offs, LONG_ALIGNED(ptr) + 1);
	}
#endif
}

And use it.
