I guess we have a wild mixture of raw define, enums and __bitwise +
defines nowdays.

E.g., take a look at include/linux/rmap.h "typedef int __bitwise rmap_t"
and how it's used --  that seems to be the new "best" solution for use
in the kernel.

Having that said, feel free to just let it be an enum :)
