The logical operations or & xor used in the test_and_set_bit_lock(), test_and_clear_bit() & test_and_change_bit() functions currently force the value 1<<bit to be placed in a register. If the bit is compile-time constant & fits within the immediate field of an or/xor instruction (ie. 16 bits) then we can make use of the ori/xori instruction variants & avoid the use of an extra register. Add the extra "i" constraints in order to allow use of these immediate encodings.

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.
