Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] Expose little-endian bitops

All architectures already have little-endian bitops for use by file- systems that use little-endian allocation tables. Since these are more generally useful - Andrew Morton suggested we use them in the sfc driver - they should be exposed under consistent names. The following patch series does that, using the names from <asm-generic/bitops/le.h> but without the "generic_" prefix.

Ben.
