Robert P. J. Day de9330d13e log2.h: Define order_base_2() macro for convenience.
Given a number of places in the tree that need to calculate this value
explicitly, might as well just create a macro for it.

(akpm: must be implemented as a macro for callee typeof() usage)

Robert P. J. Day b311e921b3 Add a "rounddown_pow_of_two" routine to log2.h
To go along with the existing "roundup_pow_of_two" routine, add one for
rounding down since that operation appears to crop up on a regular basis in
the source tree.

Rolf Eike Beer 1a06a52ee1 Fix roundup_pow_of_two(1)
1 is a power of two, therefore roundup_pow_of_two(1) should return 1. It does
in case the argument is a variable but in case it's a constant it behaves
wrong and returns 0. Probably nobody ever did it so this was never noticed.

Robert P. J. Day 63c2f782e8 [POWERPC] Add "is_power_of_2" checking to log2.h.
Add the inline function "is_power_of_2()" to log2.h, where the value
zero is *not* considered to be a power of two.

David Howells 312a0c1709 [PATCH] LOG2: Alter roundup_pow_of_two() so that it can use a ilog2() on a constant
Alter roundup_pow_of_two() so that it can make use of ilog2() on a constant to
produce a constant value, retaining the ability for an arch to override it in
the non-const case.

This permits the function to be used to initialise variables.

David Howells f0d1b0b30d [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel
This facility provides three entry points:

	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

	int do_something(long q)
	{
		...;
		y = ilog2(x)
		...;
	}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

	unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.
