Wrong placement for a new entry.

Why is not ordered?

...

+ array_size.h

I think I repeated this three times already.

Can this be __le32?

In that case le32_to_cpu() from asm/byteorder.h may be used.

Btw, this 1ULL * BIT() can be replaced with BIT_ULL().

Same, it's default.

It's better to split and use when it's required.

I would dare to put this on a single line.
