ARM, ARM64 and UniCore32 duplicate the definition of UL():

  #define UL(x) _AC(x, UL)

This is not actually arch-specific, so it will be useful to move it
to a common header.  Currently, we only have the uapi variant for
linux/const.h, so I am creating include/linux/const.h.

I am also adding _UL(), _ULL() and ULL() because _AC() is mostly
used in the form either _AC(..., UL) or _AC(..., ULL).  I expect
they will be replaced in later cleanups.  The underscore-prefixed
ones should be used for exported headers.

For ARM,

You need to be very careful doing this.  Some userspace stuff depends on the
guard macro names on the kernel header files.

How likely is this to collide with existing userspace code somewhere?  It
looks like the sort of thing that could collide with a C library.

Sorry, I do not have enough insight to answer your questions.


Andrew,
If this seems dangerous, please feel free to drop the entire series
because it is not adding any value except some cleanups.
