Other implementations take `unsigned long' and return `unsigned long'...

It's all over the place, actually.  32 bit archs are especially loose.

I've been toying with the idea of a boottime testsuite for all the
bitops to see who gets them wrong.

+static inline int __fls(unsigned long word)
                 ^^^       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+{
+	return fls(word) - 1;
+}
+

... but this one uses mixed types?

I cut and pasted.  I thought you were 32 bit, so doesn't matter?

What are the official semantics of __fls()?

Find last bit set in the word, undefined if word is 0.  Returns 0
to BITS_PER_LONG-1.

Cheers,
Rusty.
