Some users need to make sure their rounding function accepts and returns

Is it possible to create general roundup/rounddown_pow_two() which will
work correctly for any type of variables, instead of creating special
variant for every type?
In fact, that is sort of the case already - roundup_pow_of_two() itself
wraps ilog2() such that the constant case *is* type-independent. And
since ilog2() handles non-constant values anyway, might it be reasonable
to just take the strongly-typed __roundup_pow_of_two() helper out of the
loop as below?
