I wonder if there's a way to make this BUILD_BUG_ON(), so the problem is
caught at compile time (a change like adding an O_ flag is often compile
tested only for obscure archs).  One could create a compile-time
macro-ized version of hweight32() and use that, I guess, although I'm
not sure it's worth the ugliness.

Failing that maybe this should be WARN_ON()?  I'd be annoyed if my arch
wouldn't boot because some strange new O_ flag happened to collide.

 - R.
