The right fix is to stop overlyaing the FMODE_ flags into the O_
namespace. Al has been working towards this.

Not ugly at all:

#define hweight32(x) __builtin_popcount(x)

Checked GCC 3.4.3 / 4.1 / 4.4: It expands as a compile-time constant
if the argument is a compile-time constant, so can be used in
BUILD_BUG_ON() and even for array sizes etc.

If GCC's __builtin_popcount() isn't good enough for non-constant
values, the macro would be more involved:

#define hweight32(x) (__builtin_constant_p(x) ? __builtin_popcount(x) \
: hweight32_nonconstant(x))

What if a new architecture wants to use a single bit value (since it
does not need backwards compatibility)?

You mean to test __O_SYNC | O_DSYNC instead of O_SYNC?

Jamie, Thanks for the hint! Would you sign this patch?

bitops: compile time optimization for hweight_long(CONSTANT)

This allows use of hweight_long() in BUILD_BUG_ON().
Suggested by Jamie.
