You are right. I reviewed for_each_set_bit but didn't notice 
find_next_bit may simply return 32 in our case without doing any 
iterative processing. I will get rid of the redundant if (val) check below.

Actually, by reviewing the code more deeply, I'm not sure why using 
for_each_set_bit here is 'endian unsafe'. Isn't that already taken care 
of by macros in bitops.h? Sorry if I'm still missing something here...
