Apologies for what is essentially a repost with a proper subject header
in the sense of trying to get the attention of people who collect/approve
patches for submission upstream.  See my posting from earlier today
(followup: [FTBFS] kernel 4.18-rc7 bitsperlong.h issue on alpha) for the
back story.  As mentioned there, this patch applies cleanly to at least
all mainline kernel source trees >= version 4.18.

Further apologies for including the patch as an attachment, but I don't
trust my mailer not to impose unintended formatting.
