Subject: [PATCH v4] x86/vmware: use BIT() macro for shifting

From: Shreenidhi Shedi <[email protected]>

Using BIT() macro improves readability & it uses unsigned long for
shifting which is an added advantage.

Kernel builds with -fno-strict-overflow CFLAG hence shifting a signed
integer by 31 bits is not an issue in this case.

Looks good to me.

x86/vmware: Use BIT() macro for shifting

VMWARE_CMD_VCPU_RESERVED is bit 31 and that would mean undefined
behavior when shifting an int but the kernel is built with
-fno-strict-overflow which will wrap around using two's complement.

Use the BIT() macro to improve readability and avoid any potential
overflow confusion because it uses an unsigned long.
