And __set_bit_if_needed is too long. But I can't think of anything shorter, unless we do something lame like __set_bit2(). __set_bit_if_clear() isn't too bad? Also, your changelog still doesn't include the results of the quantitative testing which you performed to demonstrate that these code sites will benefit from this conversion.
