+/*
+ * Many architecture-specific non-atomic bitops contain inline asm code and due
+ * to that the compiler can't optimize them to compile-time expressions or
+ * constants. In contrary, generic_*() helpers are defined in pure C and
+ * compilers optimize them just well.
+ * Therefore, to make `unsigned long foo = 0; __set_bit(BAR, &foo)` effectively
+ * equal to `unsigned long foo = BIT(BAR)`, pick the generic C alternative when
+ * the arguments can be resolved at compile time. That expression itself is a
+ * constant and doesn't bring any functional changes to the rest of cases.
+ * The casts to `uintptr_t` are needed to mitigate `-Waddress` warnings when
+ * passing a bitmap from .bss or .data (-> `!!addr` is always true).
