Hmm, my problem is that I realized the difference of return types
between the macro IS_PO2 and is_power_of_2. I tested the bool
datatype with a user space program to see what I will get and I get
0s and 1s. I can do it with a simple kernel driver to see what
happens there too if you would like.

Kindly let me know what kind of information you would like to see in the
commit message.
