I won't apply this one, for two reasons:

1) The reiserfs definition is better, it is _type_ based.
   Please use (~(__u16)0) and (~(__u32)0), respectively.

2) The reiserfs definition is going to define an equivalent
   value, so just adding an #undef and still letting reiserfs
   override is wrong.  Why put a common define in kernel.h
   if other headers still keep their own crufty copy too?
