Subject: [PATCH 6/6] Alter roundup_pow_of_two() so that it can make use of long_log2() on a constant

From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>

Alter roundup_pow_of_two() so that it can make use of long_log2() on a constant
to produce a constant value, retaining the ability for an arch to override it
in the non-const case.

This permits the function to be used to initialise variables.
