Right as always! Maybe BIT()? Don't we have a {SET,CLEAR}_BIT()-like
macros somewhere?

#define SET_BIT(var,nr) (var) |= BIT((nr))
#define CLEAR_BIT(var,nr) (var) &= ~BIT((nr))
#define PUT_BIT(var,nr,value) do { \
        if ((value)) \
                SET_BIT((var), (nr)); \
        else \
                CLEAR_BIT((var), (nr)); \
} while(0)

May I make a patch and try to see who could use it? I suppose a
Coccinelle's semantic patch would be great here.
