Subject: [PATCH] x86: Change x86 to use generic find_next_bit

x86: Change x86 to use the generic find_next_bit implementation

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.

Hi,

I think it would be a good idea to use the generic versions of
find_next_bit and find_next_zero_bit. The i386 versions have
a bug, and the generic ones are faster (in my probably 
not-so-representative micro-benchmark, that is).

Patch is against -x86#testing. It compiles.

Greetings,
	Alexander
