Define helper macro that can be used in enum {} to utilize the automatic
increment to define all bits without directly defining the values or
using additional linear bits.
1. capture the sequence value, N
2. use the value to define the given enum with N-th bit set
3. reset the sequence back to N
Use for enums that do not require fixed values for symbolic names (like
for on-disk structures):
enum {
ENUM_BIT(FIRST),
ENUM_BIT(SECOND),
ENUM_BIT(THIRD)
};
Where the values would be 0x1, 0x2 and 0x4.

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.
