Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] sparc64: Optimize fls and __fls

SPARC provides lzcnt instruction (with VIS3) which can be used to
optimize fls, __fls and fls64 functions. For the systems that supports 
lzcnt instruction, we now do boot time patching to use sparc
optimized fls, __fls and fls64 functions.

v2->v3:
 -  Using ENTRY(), ENDPROC() for assembler functions.
 -  Removed BITS_PER_LONG from __fls.
 -  Using generic fls64().
 -  Replaced lzcnt instruction with .word directive.
v1->v2: 
 - Fixed delay slot issue.

Vijay Kumar (2):
  sparc64: Define SPARC default fls and __fls
  sparc64: Use lzcnt instruction for fls and __fls
