From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: linux/const.h: move BIT(_ULL) to linux/const.h for use in assembly
Commit 2fc016c5bd8a ("linux/const.h: Add _BITUL() and _BITULL()")
introduced _BITUL() and _BITULL(). Its git-log says the difference
from the already existing BIT() are:
1. The namespace is such that they can be used in uapi definitions.
2. The type is set with the _AC() macro to allow it to be used in
assembly.
3. The type is explicitly specified to be UL or ULL.
However, I found _BITUL() is mostly used in kernel-space since it is
handy to share headers between C and assembly. If we only need '2.',
we can improve the existing BIT() for use in assembly, allowing us to
avoid unnecessary underscore prefixes.
