ilog2 works well enough here as well.

Subject: procfs: add VmFlags field in smaps output v3
During c/r sessions we've found that there is no way at the moment to
fetch some VMA associated flags, such as mlock() and madvise().
This leads us to a problem -- we don't know if we should call for
mlock() and/or madvise() after restore on the vma area we're bringing
back to life.
This patch intorduces a new field into "smaps" output called VmFlags,
where all set flags associated with the particular VMA is shown as two
letter mnemonics.
[ Strictly speaking for c/r we only need mlock/madvise bits but it has been
said that providing just a few flags looks somehow inconsistent. So all
flags are here now. ]
This feature is made available on CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=n kernels, as
other applications may start to use these fields.
The data is encoded in a somewhat awkward two letters mnemonic form, to
encourage userspace to be prepared for fields being added or removed in
the future.
