There are users already and will be more of BITS_TO_BYTES() macro. Move it to bitops.h for wider use. In the case of ocfs2 the replacement is identical. As for bnx2x, there are two places where floor version is used. In the first case to calculate the amount of structures that can fit one memory page. In this case obviously the ceiling variant is correct and original code might have a potential bug, if amount of bits % 8 is not 0. In the second case the macro is used to calculate bytes transmitted in one microsecond. This will work for all speeds which is multiply of 1Gbps without any change, for the rest new code will give ceiling value, for instance 100Mbps will give 13 bytes, while old code gives 12 bytes and the arithmetically correct one is 12.5 bytes. Further the value is used to setup timer threshold which in any case has its own margins due to certain resolution. I don't see here an issue with slightly shifting thresholds for low speed connections, the card is supposed to utilize highest available rate, which is usually 10Gbps.

README
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.
