Subject: [PATCH] lib: find_last_bit.o needed by a module only, move it from lib to obj

From: Fred Isaman <iisaman@...i.umich.edu>

Currently, although find_last_bit is EXPORTed, it is statically linked with
the lernel and is referenced only under CONFIG_SMP.

When CONFIG_SMP is undefined and find_last_bit is referenced only by modules,
linking fails with:
ERROR: "find_last_bit" [fs/nfs/nfs.ko] undefined!

Linus, can you please merge this trivial patch upstream?
This breaks nfs-2.6/{nfsv41,linux-next} on uni-processors
configured with !CONFIG_SMP.

Thanks,

Benny
