Hi all,

a build report by the 0day robot:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/Yc7t934f%2Bf/mO8lj@xxxxxxx

made me look at asm and how gcc, at least, generates funky calls to the
*_bit() bit manipulation functions on x86 instead of inlining them into
the call sites as on x86 that's a single insn, in most of the cases.

So PeterZ says the way to go is to always inline them. So here they are.
The fun thing is that on x86 there is even a size decrease of more than
a Kilobyte for a defconfig, which is nice, see patch 1.

As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thx.
