Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Introduce generic set_bit_le() -v2

  [ Andrew, can you take this or should I send to other person?
    Note: the whole series is against linux-next. ]

KVM is using test_and_set_bit_le() for this missing function; this patch
series corrects this usage.

As some drivers have their own definitions of set_bit_le(), a bit of
preparation is also needed.

  Although these are differently implemented, especially for big-endian
  case, than the generic __set_bit_le(), it should not be a problem to
  use the latter since both maintainers prefer it.

Changes from v1:
  - sfc:     Ben made a patch
  - tulip:   followed suggestion by Grant
  - bitops:  added clear_bit_le -- suggested by Arnd
  - powerpc: added the same code


Ben Hutchings (1):
  sfc: Use standard __{clear,set}_bit_le() functions

Takuya Yoshikawa (4):
  drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip: Use standard __set_bit_le() function
  bitops: Introduce generic {clear,set}_bit_le()
  powerpc: bitops: Introduce {clear,set}_bit_le()
  KVM: Replace test_and_set_bit_le() in mark_page_dirty_in_slot() with set_bit_le()
