Mimic the test_bitops.c, I wrote a test like this:

/* a tiny module only meant to test get_count_order/long */
unsigned int order_comb[][2] = {
	{0x00000003,  2},
	{0x00000004,  2},
	{0x00001fff, 13},
	{0x00002000, 13},
	{0x50000000, 32},
	{0x80000000, 32},
};

static int __init test_getorder_startup(void)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(order_comb); i++) {
		if (order_comb[i][1] != get_count_order(order_comb[i][0]))
			pr_warn("get_count_order wrong for %lx\n",
					order_comb[i][0]);
	}

	return 0;
}

Since I don't get a way to iterate all the possibilities, some random
combination is chosen. Is this one looks good?
