I'm looking to use roundup_pow_of_two() (actually, order_base_2()) from <linux/log2.h>, but it seems that it only supports 64-bit integers if your toolchain uses a 64-bit 'unsigned long' type. This is strange, considering that ilog2() is explicitly designed for 32-bit or 64-bit compatibility.
ilog2() was explicitly designed for use with 'unsigned long'. See the commit description (f0d1b0b30d250a07627ad8b9fbbb5c7cc08422e8). It may work with unsigned long long, however... David
