    x86: partial unification of asm-x86/bitops.h · 1c54d770
    Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
    This unifies the set/clear/test bit functions of asm/bitops.h.
    
    I have not attempted to merge the bit-finding functions, since they
    rely on the machine word size and can't be easily restructured to work
    generically without a lot of #ifdefs.  In particular, the 64-bit code
    can assume the presence of conditional move instructions, whereas
    32-bit needs to be more careful.
    
    The inline assembly for the bit operations has been changed to remove
    explicit sizing hints on the instructions, so the assembler will pick
    the appropriate instruction forms depending on the architecture and
    the context.
