We are now using generic___set_le_bit() to make dirty bitmaps le.
Though this works well, we have to replace __set_bit() to appropriate
uaccess function to move dirty bitmaps to user space. So this patch
splits generic___set_le_bit() and prepares for that.

Why not introduce __set_le_bit_user() along with __set_bit_user()? kvm shouldn't do endian corrections when they can be done in generic code.

You're also dropping the RMW avoidance. This is fine, but deserves at least a note in the changelog (or a separate patch).
