Christophe Leroy 22ef33b368 powerpc: Replace ffz() by equivalent generic function
With the ffz() function as defined in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h
GCC will not optimise the code in case of constant parameter.

This patch replaces ffz() by the generic function.

The generic ffz(x) expects to never be called with ~x == 0
as written in the comment in include/asm-generic/bitops/ffz.h
The only user of ffz() within arch/powerpc/ is
platforms/512x/mpc5121_ads_cpld.c, which checks if x is not 0xff

For non constant calls, the generated code is doing the same:

unsigned long testffz(unsigned long x)
{
	return ffz(x);
}

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
