We use __fls() to find the most significant bit. Using that, the
loop can be avoided. A second trick is to use the mod(32)
behaviour of the rotate instructions on x86 to expand the range
of the unsigned int to float conversion to the full 32 bits.
The routine is now exact up to 2^24. Above that, we truncate which
is equivalent to rounding towards zero.
