Thanks.  It kinda bothers me that for_each_set_bit() doesn't collapse
to combo of ffs() + clearing bit off of a temp mask when size is const
and <= ulong, which would be quite a bit lighter.  Right now it'd be
calling into generic find_first/next_bit() functions unconditionally.
Ah well, it can be optimized later.
