I don't really see why it's easier.
These wrappers resulted in a ton of code
converting from bit numbers to set_bit calls
and back.

E.g. with plan integer you can do (a|b|c)
to get a set with 3 bits.

In fact that's why we have BIT macro.

vdev->features & BIT_ULL(x) is only longer by 1
character than test_feature_bit(vdev, x), and
it's much clearer than a non standard wrapper.

vdev->features & (1ULL << x) is longer by 3 chars.

I guess this is a suggestion to use BIT / BIT_ULL more.

Good point.

Ouch. you are right of course. Will fix.

We do: BITS_PER_BYTE.

That's the whole reason for the patch.

I guess you disagree with it, but it's much easier
to deal with simple integers.
