Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] x86/cpu: replacing the open-coded shift with BIT(x)

Others might feel differently and that's fine, but I always found the
BIT() thing so much less clear than doing 1<<n, which is not only a
pattern that I recognize as builtin to my brain, but also provides a
direct description of what's happening, "shift a 1 over n times",
leaving no off-by-one ambiguity about it. If anything I'd like to see
the BIT() macro expanded throughout and then removed entirely.

Probably just me though. You can safely ignore my opinion :).
