This is due to a pending parport patch, obviously not yet integrated. NB: The patch has been posted to linux-kernel some time ago (with overwhelming feedback 8-)) and is also on Andrew Tridgell's Jitterbug Page...

No, your guess is wrong.

Since there are several modules that need the "hamming weight" (aka population count) functionality and several CPU archs have instructions for this that are faster than the generic C code, my idea was to move these routines to arch specific code. This is also in a pending patch, obviously not yet integrated.
What I want from Linus is a statement whether the moving of these routines to asm/bitops.h (or wherever) is ok or not.
