Thank you for spotting and fixing this one! I had been using these for
a long time, including for pure user-land code to manipulate bits and
never thought about the risk of incompatibility when passing them as-is
to the kernel! It's fairly possible that I'm having non-working code for
64-bit BE machines at a few places!
