commit cbe96375025e14fc76f9ed42ee5225120d7210f8 upstream.

Add two simple wrappers around set_bit/clear_bit() that accept the common case of an u32 array. This avoids writing casts in all callers.

These won't work correctly on big-endian 64-bit systems. They are also unsafe to use on u32 arrays with an odd length, on 64-bit systems. This is why lib/bitmap.c has conversion functions for u32 arrays.

I end up deleteing these later in the patch series, just like upstream did, so all should be ok, right?

thanks,
