I tried testing this patch by writing a print_array myself, and I kept
hitting this BUILD_BUG_ON, and was wondering WTF? Then it dawned on me.
el_size should not be based on bits, it should be based on bytes. I
passed in "sizeof()" which doesn't work with bits.
Please update to "el_size < 1 || el_size > 8".
and adjust the rest accordingly.
Thanks,
