Andy Shevchenko de5f843389 lib/bitmap: Introduce bitmap_scatter() and bitmap_gather() helpers
These helpers scatters or gathers a bitmap with the help of the mask
position bits parameter.

bitmap_scatter() does the following:
  src:  0000000001011010
                  ||||||
           +------+|||||
           |  +----+||||
           |  |+----+|||
           |  ||   +-+||
           |  ||   |  ||
  mask: ...v..vv...v..vv
        ...0..11...0..10
  dst:  0000001100000010

and bitmap_gather() performs this one:
   mask: ...v..vv...v..vv
   src:  0000001100000010
            ^  ^^   ^   0
            |  ||   |  10
            |  ||   > 010
            |  |+--> 1010
            |  +--> 11010
            +----> 011010
   dst:  0000000000011010

bitmap_gather() can the seen as the reverse bitmap_scatter() operation.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
