Something like (I may be mistaken by names, etc, I'm not a compiler expert,
and this is in pseudo language, I don't remember all API names by hart,
just to express the idea) as a rough first step

__builtin_constant(nbits, find_next_set_bit_long, find_next_set_bit)

find_next_set_bit_long()
{
unsigned long v = BIT_LAST_WORD(i);
return ffs_long(v);
}

Same for find_first_set_bit() -> map it to ffs_long().

And I believe it can be optimized more.
