Yes. Including the header only provides the prototype of
generic_find_next_le_bit(), not the actual implementation. So it will

time permits), hopefully before 2.6.26...

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
