Christophe Leroy 2fcff790dc powerpc: Use builtin functions for fls()/__fls()/fls64()
With the fls() functions as defined in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bitops.h
GCC will not optimise the code in case of constant parameter.

This patch replaces __fls() by the builtin function, and modifies
fls() and fls64() to use builtins instead of inline assembly

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

int testfls(unsigned int x)
{
	return fls(x);
}

unsigned long test__fls(unsigned long x)
{
	return __fls(x);
}

int testfls64(__u64 x)
{
	return fls64(x);
}

Those builtins have been in GCC since at least 3.4.6 (see

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.
