[RFC][PATCH resend 8/12] asm-generic: bitops: introduce le bit offset macro

[Takuya Yoshikawa <takuya.yoshikawa@gmail.com>]

Although we can use *_le_bit() helpers to treat bitmaps le arranged,
having le bit offset calculation as a seperate macro gives us more freedom.

For example, KVM has le arranged dirty bitmaps for VGA, live-migration
and they are used in user space too. To avoid bitmap copies between kernel
and user space, we want to update the bitmaps in user space directly.
To achive this, le bit offset with *_user() functions help us a lot.

So let us use the le bit offset calculation part by defining it as a new
macro: generic_le_bit_offset() .
