I don't expect any reliance on optimization in <asm/types.h>, as it should
just add definitions. However, "__u64" is "unsigned long long" everywhere,
so you can just use that.

Either open-code rol64() (it's not that complicated), or add a source file that
contains only

        #include <linux/types.h>
        #include <linux/bitops.h>

        __u64 outofline_rol64(__u64 word, unsigned int shift)
        {
                return rol64(word, shift);
        }

and call outofline_rol64() from your code.
