For better readability and maintenance: use the BIT() macro for flag
definitions.
NAK.  BIT() is the stupidest macro in the kernel and shall not be used
ever.  And I'm pretty sure we had this discussion a few times.
Yep and the general consensus among the kernel developers still is to
use the BIT() macro. Even for this patch there were three separate
comments from high-profile developers to use BIT().

Also: this really is bikeshedding at this point, given that the core
subject of this series is elsewhere.
Given that we had this dicussion before I'll gladly tell you that your
any seris with a BIT() conversion will go stright to /dev/null after
the first warning from now on.  You had more than one warning.
