Actually, not yet. Here, I am decoupling GENMASK_U128() from
__GENMASK_U128(), but I did not touch the uapi.

After this series, __GENMASK_U128() is not used anymore in the kernel,
but I am not brave enough to remove it myself because there is always a
risk that some userland code somewhere is relying on it…
