The build error is caused by the ages old gcc bug where gcc at the time of
analyzing the constraints is unable to figure out that an "i" constraint
actually can be satisfied and thus will abort unless an "r" is added to
the constraint.  For the actual code generation gcc will only ever use the
"i" constraint.

<title>[MIPS] Fix asm constraints for 'ins' instructions.</title>

The third operand to 'ins' must be a constant int, not a register.

[Ralf: The bug was actually intensional.  Some versions used to throw an
error under certain circumstances for code like:

static inline void f(unsigned nr, unsigned *p)
{
	unsigned short bit = nr &amp; 5;

	if (__builtin_constant_p(bit)) {
		__asm__ __volatile__ ("  foo %0, %1" : "=m" (*p) : "i" (bit));
  	} else {
		/* Do something else. */
	}
}

because gcc was not able to figure out that the "i" constraint was possibly
at the early stage when the constraint are getting verified.  The solution
was using "ri" instead of "i".  The "ri" would keep gcc happy but in the
end for code generation always the "i" constraint would be satisfied.  The
problem afair originally appeared in the i386 io.h and also hit it's mips
equivalent.  From there the workaround spread to many of the inline
assembler functions.]

Implement __fls on all 64-bit archs:

alpha has an implementation of fls64.
	Added __fls(x) = fls64(x) - 1.

ia64 has fls, but not __fls.
	Added __fls based on code of fls.

mips and powerpc have __ilog2, which is the same as __fls.
	Added __fls = __ilog2.

parisc, s390, sh and sparc64:
	Include generic __fls.

x86_64 already has __fls.

forbid asm/bitops.h direct inclusion

Because of compile errors that may occur after bit changes if asm/bitops.h is
included directly without e.g.  linux/kernel.h which includes linux/bitops.h,
forbid direct inclusion of asm/bitops.h.  Thanks to Adrian Bunk.
