bitops/non-atomic: make @nr unsigned to avoid any DIV
signed math causes generation of costlier instructions such as DIV when
they could be done by barrerl shifter.
Worse part is this is not caught by things like bloat-o-meter since
instruction length / symbols are typically same size.
e.g.
stock (signed math)
