Ok, good.

I have a patch series that adds it to a lot of files. Note that linux/bitops.h
itself is a fairly big header with everything else that it includes, and it
is included almost everywhere indirectly.  When we change the other
headers to not require linux/bitops.h any more, everything that uses BIT()
needs to include linux/bits.h.
