So this seemed fine to me, but for some reason the compiler is saying
the BUILD_BUG_ON(!is_power_of_2(x)) fails, if and only if (!)
CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL is enabled, which seems to boil down to the
compiler option -fprofile-arcs.

I'm going to replace this with just the code itself, i.e.

                /* both must be a power of 2 */
                BUILD_BUG_ON(_factor & (_factor - 1));
                BUILD_BUG_ON(_weight & (_weight - 1));

but should I have expected this?

It might have something to do with the fact that is_power_of_2() being
an inline function, perhaps with this compiler option it translates to
something that can't be used in the context BUILD_BUG_ON() uses it in.

There is a BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2() macro you could use.

Evidently, yeah.

Good point, I'll do that, thanks.
