I worry that commenting on why things are not done some other way at
that location would detract from the legibility of the code itself.

Perhaps we could use a cast after all, and write it out like this:

	div = clamp((u32)roundup_pow_of_two(div), 2U, 256U);

which compiles fine without any warnings, accomplishes your "do it in
a single line" desired behavior, and doesn't require me commenting on
which linux library functions do or don't work well with others... :)

Geert, what do you think?
