Hi, James

DECLARE_BITMAP isn't a good option for mvsas, since the tags array couldn't be global(it's chip-related) and even if we define the static tag array both in mv64xx.c and mv94xx.c, it still couldn't honor 88SE9480 as there are 2 separate cores. So if we use DECLARE_BITMAP, it's hard to maintain the corresponding tag for different core.
Can we use the following replacement:
 -	u8 tags[MVS_SLOTS >> 3];
 +	unsigned long tags[MVS_SLOTS / BITS_PER_LONG];

You are doing exactly the same thing as DECLARE_BITMAP here, so just use DECLARE_BITMAP :)

include/linux/types.h:
	#define DECLARE_BITMAP(name,bits) \
	        unsigned long name[BITS_TO_LONGS(bits)]
