I have to say, the entire boolean type seems strange. I haven't looked at all the users, but wouldn't it be better to provide some simple helpers to allow call sites to set and test lsbits, and document the array as requiring 2-byte alignment of pointers?
Factoring it into two features like this would eliminate a significant source of API cruft for callers that don't use the feature, without cluttering callers that do too much. And callers could take advantage of known alignment to use more lsbits if they wanted to. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
