Subject: parisc: Don't use BITS_PER_LONG in userspace-exported swab.h header

From: Helge Deller <[email protected]>

commit 2ad5d52d42810bed95100a3d912679d8864421ec upstream.

In swab.h the "#if BITS_PER_LONG > 32" breaks compiling userspace programs if BITS_PER_LONG is #defined by userspace with the sizeof() compiler builtin.

Solve this problem by using __BITS_PER_LONG instead. Since we now #include asm/bitsperlong.h avoid further potential userspace pollution by moving the #define of SHIFT_PER_LONG to bitops.h which is not exported to userspace.

This patch unbreaks compiling qemu on hppa/parisc.
