The patch sat on the list for a couple months, then I went ahead and
committed it.
The changes to include/linux/bits.h are just code movement from kernel
to uapi header (plus the uglification of BITS_PER_LONG and
BITS_PER_LONG_LONG per uapi rules) so I think that's fine.
But I'll drop an email to them to ask them if they want MAINTAINERS to
include the new file.
Btw, aren't you missing some includes in include/uapi/linux/bits.h?
Yeah, uapi/linux/const.h is needed to use the macros in bits.h. I
didn't notice because KVM headers include it anyway and, on the
include/linux/ side, include/linux/bits.h gets it via include/linux/const.h.
