I would hope we don't need this definition. Not that it
hurts at all, but __BITS_PER_LONG_LONG was already kind
of pointless since we don't run on anything else and
__BITS_PER_U128 clearly can't have any other sensible
definition than a plain 128.

I just tried using this syntax and it doesn't seem to do
what you expected. gcc silently truncates the constant
to a 64-bit value here, while clang fails the build.

The __GENMASK_U128() macro however seems to work correctly
since you start out with a smaller number and then shift
it after the type conversion.
