The mapsize optimizations which were moved from x86 to the generic
code in commit 64970b68d2b3ed32b964b0b30b1b98518fde388e increased the
binary size on non x86 architectures.
Looking into the real effects of the "optimizations" it turned out
that they are not used in find_next_bit() and find_next_zero_bit().
The ones in find_first_bit() and find_first_zero_bit() are used in a
couple of places but none of them is a real hot path.
Remove the "optimizations" all together and call the library functions
unconditionally.
Boot-tested on x86 and compile tested on every cross compiler I have.

Generic versions of __find_first_bit and __find_first_zero_bit
are introduced as simplified versions of __find_next_bit and
__find_next_zero_bit. Their compilation and use are guarded by
a new config variable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT.
The generic versions of find_first_bit and find_first_zero_bit
are implemented in terms of the newly introduced __find_first_bit
and __find_first_zero_bit.
This patch does not remove the i386-specific implementation,
but it does switch i386 to use the generic functions by setting
GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=y for X86_32.

This moves an optimization for searching constant-sized small
bitmaps form x86_64-specific to generic code.
On an i386 defconfig (the x86#testing one), the size of vmlinux hardly
changes with this applied. I have observed only four places where this
optimization avoids a call into find_next_bit:
In the functions return_unused_surplus_pages, alloc_fresh_huge_page,
and adjust_pool_surplus, this patch avoids a call for a 1-bit bitmap.
In __next_cpu a call is avoided for a 32-bit bitmap. That's it.
On x86_64, 52 locations are optimized with a minimal increase in
code size:
Current #testing defconfig:
146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit
text data bss dec hex filename
5392637 846592 724424 6963653 6a41c5 vmlinux
After removing the x86_64 specific optimization for find_next_*bit:
94 x bsf, 79 x find_next_*bit
text data bss dec hex filename
5392358 846592 724424 6963374 6a40ae vmlinux
After this patch (making the optimization generic):
146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit

The versions with inline assembly are in fact slower on the machines I
tested them on (in userspace) (Athlon XP 2800+, p4-like Xeon 2.8GHz, AMD
Opteron 270). The i386-version needed a fix similar to 06024f21 to avoid
crashing the benchmark.
Benchmark using: gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -Os. For each bitmap size
1...512, for each possible bitmap with one bit set, for each possible
offset: find the position of the first bit starting at offset. If you
follow ;). Times include setup of the bitmap and checking of the
results.
Athlon Xeon Opteron 32/64bit
x86-specific: 0m3.692s 0m2.820s 0m3.196s / 0m2.480s
generic: 0m2.622s 0m1.662s 0m2.100s / 0m1.572s
If the bitmap size is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, and no set
(cleared) bit is found, find_next_bit (find_next_zero_bit) returns a
value outside of the range [0, size]. The generic version always returns
exactly size. The generic version also uses unsigned long everywhere,
while the x86 versions use a mishmash of int, unsigned (int), long and
unsigned long.
Using the generic version does give a slightly bigger kernel, though.

This function is used by the ext4 multi block allocator patches.
Also add generic_find_next_le_bit

Export a number of features required to build all the modules. It also
implements the following simple features:
(*) csum_partial_copy_from_user() for MMU as well as no-MMU.
(*) __ucmpdi2().
so that they can be exported too.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
