Patches should only ever do one "thing" at a time.  By fixing up an
invalid value, and mixing that up in other stuff, you prevent anyone
from backporting that single fix to older kernels, where they probably
want it, right?

So please break this up into two patches:
	- fix the values
	- move the defines

and tag the first patch for inclusion in the stable kernel trees.

thanks,
