Large number of boilerplate bit operations written in C-language
are scattered around include/asm-*/bitops.h.
These patch series gather them into include/asm-generic/bitops.h. And

- kill duplicated code and comment (about 4000lines)
- use better C-language equivalents
- help porting new architecture (now include/asm-generic/bitops.h is not
  referenced from anywhere)

Set PSR.be (and DCR.be) to 1 and ia64 becomes a big-endian cpu (which,
IIRC, how HP-UX uses it).
