I think around linux-2.4.19 (and thanks to rusty?) bitops.h went s/void */unsigned long */, any chance is Xen following suit? The next request would be to change all arrays destined for bitops to be defined using unsigned long.

Just cast to 'unsigned long *' when you use those ops. Why work around details of the way that Linux happens to do atomic ops in our interfaces?
