4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit cbe96375025e14fc76f9ed42ee5225120d7210f8 upstream. Add two simple wrappers around set_bit/clear_bit() that accept the common case of an u32 array. This avoids writing casts in all callers.
