Subject: ocfs2/dlm: move BITS_TO_BYTES() to bitops.h for wider use
There are users already and will be more of BITS_TO_BYTES() macro. Move
it to bitops.h for wider use.
In the case of ocfs2 the replacement is identical.
As for bnx2x, there are two places where floor version is used. In the
first case to calculate the amount of structures that can fit one memory
page. In this case obviously the ceiling variant is correct and original
code might have a potential bug, if amount of bits % 8 is not 0. In the
second case the macro is used to calculate bytes transmitted in one
microsecond. This will work for all speeds which is multiply of 1Gbps
without any change, for the rest new code will give ceiling value, for
instance 100Mbps will give 13 bytes, while old code gives 12 bytes and the
arithmetically correct one is 12.5 bytes. Further the value is used to
setup timer threshold which in any case has its own margins due to certain
resolution. I don't see here an issue with slightly shifting thresholds
for low speed connections, the card is supposed to utilize highest
available rate, which is usually 10Gbps.
