Funny you should mention that: https://lore.kernel.org/r/YlCKWhMJEMUgJmjF@xxxxxxx I *have* been working towards that but it's a losing whack-a-mole game when you and others keep adding new stuff. So no, we won't take a pile of changes and let the maintainer clean it up afterwards. > What do you want me to do here? I think the stuff coming from the linux/ namespace you can simply copy into a header in compressed/, like I've done with efi.h. > // <asm/bitops.h> The asm/ stuff can be put into a shared/ namespace header like the io stuff you did. > As 1 bit represents 2M, not all chunks can be represented in the bitmap > and they have to be accepted.

It should be generic enough. > Okay, I will do as you want, but I really hate it. I find it really weird that you feel so strongly about it. If I would have been asked to do it, I would've done it without even considering it.
