We are now using generic___set_le_bit() to make dirty bitmaps le.
Though this works well, we have to replace __set_bit() to appropriate
uaccess function to move dirty bitmaps to user space. So this patch
splits generic___set_le_bit() and prepares for that.

Why an XOR here?
Ah, might be my cut and paste mistake. I just copied from generic___set_le_bit().


Also is this LE set_bit new? I didn't see it when I did the patch back then :).

Really? I need to check the git log then. This LE set_bit is not new I think.
