Subject: [FTBFS] 4.18-rc7 bitsperlong.h issue on alpha

On an alpha system, got the following build error on the 4.18-rc7
mainline kernel source tree:

  HOSTCC  net/bpfilter/main.o
In file included from tools/include/uapi/asm/bitsperlong.h:17,
                 from /usr/include/asm-generic/int-ll64.h:12,

                 from ./include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:11,
                 from net/bpfilter/main.c:9:

Encountering this kind of error is not unusual on alpha.
