Well, this way, I'm getting

...
In file included from include/linux/kernel.h:15,
                 from /home/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h:45,
                 from /home/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/current.h:5,
                 from /home/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/processor.h:15,

                 from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c:4:
include/linux/bitops.h:52:1: warning: "HWEIGHT8" redefined
...

due to the fact that we have multiple definitions of HWEIGHT*:

The one batch is in <include/linux/bitops.h> introduced by fce877e3.

The other is in <include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h> which
is pulled in into <include/linux/bitops.h> through "#include
<asm/bitops.h>", which, in turn, <includes asm/arch_hweight.h> and
<include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h>.

The obvious resolution is to remove the HWEIGHT* batch from
<include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h> since they're functionally
identical with the ones in <include/linux/bitops.h>, no?
