James Bottomley privately corrected me. fls() != ffs().
fls() returns most significant bit set.
The examples provided:
* Note fls(0) = 0, fls(1) = 1, fls(0x80000000) = 32.
have the same value for ffs() and fls(). I didn't read the rest.
Good examples for showing bit numbering though.
I'll work on adding 64-bit support to your __fls() and commit that.
sorry for the confusion,
grant
