Ok, silly procmail rules + threaded view = bad idea. I just didn't see
your last messages earlier when I replied. Sorry!

But still, Jamal, I need more explanations on what you meant by "cutdown
on the conversion in u32_change()". And, before proceeding, I'd like to
see your reply to Jarek's last email (at 15:49 +0100) about not getting
0xff in the end.

Jarek, because I have to test anyway, I'll include ffs(mask) in my patch
and have it tested too.

I already have a clone of Dave's net-2.6 tree, so it shouldn't be such a
big effort to use git after all. I can also make the patch against
2.6.24-rc1, so please tell me which is more convinient for you.

Cheers,
Radu Rendec
