From de9330d13eac1f331e63ab1d18c506365b0151f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Robert P. J. Day" Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 01:36:54 -0800 Subject: log2.h: Define order_base_2() macro for convenience. Given a number of places in the tree that need to calculate this value explicitly, might as well just create a macro for it. (akpm: must be implemented as a macro for callee typeof() usage) Signed-off-by: Robert P. J.
