The wordpart.h header is collecting APIs related to the handling parts of the word (usually in byte granularity). The upper_*_bits() and lower_*_bits() are good candidates to be moved to there. This helps to clean up header dependency hell with regard to kernel.h as the latter gathers completely unrelated stuff together and slows down compilation (especially when it's included into other header).

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.
