You got the "n" on "down" in the subject, but still missing "of" ;)

Some users need to make sure their rounding function accepts and returns

roundup/rounddown_pow_two() takes and returns unsigned longs. It turns
out ilog2() already handles 32/64bit calculations properly, and being
the building block to the round functions we can rework them as a
wrapper around it.
Missing "of" in the function names here.

IIUC the point of this is that roundup_pow_of_two() returned
"unsigned long", which can be either 32 or 64 bits (worth pointing
out, I think), and many callers need something that returns
"unsigned long long" (always 64 bits).
It's a nice simplification to remove the "__" variants. Just as a
casual reader of this commit message, I'd like to know why we had both
the roundup and the __roundup versions in the first place, and why we
no longer need both.

Should the resulting type of this expression always be a ULL, even
when n==1, i.e., should it be this?
1ULL : (1ULL << (ilog2((n) - 1) + 1)) \
Or maybe there's no case where that makes a difference?
