Do we need such a macro for a fixed-width type? Even if we do, I'm not
sure that a header named bitsperlong.h is a good place to host it.

GENMASK() macros may be used in assembly code. This is not the case
for GENMASK_128 at this time, of course, but I think we'd introduce 
assembly glue at this point to simplify things in future. Can you
check the include/uapi/linux/const.h and add something like _U128()
in there?
