Presumably there will be a separate patch series to remove the atomic ext2 bitops?  I was going to suggest removing the ext2 comment in bitops.h, but I notice that there are still the atomic bitops left.

In any case, thanks for your efforts.  I agree that these ext2_* functions have no place in the generic code, and are only there for historical reasons.
