Subject[PATCH] x86: fix find_next_bit breakage on ppc and powerpc
Powerpc (and ppc) have their have some code in their bitops.h
which used to be exacly the same as asm-generic/bitops/find.h.
Include this header instead.

This should also fix the compile problems due to the generic
find_next_bit changes. Those were fixed by Thomas Gleixner in
asm-generic/bitops/find.h earlier.

Hello,

Yeah, I reproduced the breakage on x86 by putting an #include
<asm-generic/bitops/find.h> in asm-x86/bitops.h. It's complaining
a lot, then. Sorry about that breakage. I should have put more
thought in the possibility of breakage due to that header file
(I did look at it, but I thought it was harmless).

Thomas' "find_next_bit() fix" is certainly needed and correct.
Acked-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm>.

Could you/Thomas try the following on top of that fix? (i.e., with
"find_next_bit() fix" and "find_first_bit() ppc fix" removed?)
I think it should work then.

Architectures that use CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT=y and include
asm-generic/bitops/find.h should be able to switch to the generic
find_first_bit implementation by setting GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=y
in asm-$ARCH/Kconfig and removing the #include <asm-generic/bitops/find.h>
from their asm-$ARCH/bitops.h.

Greetings,
Alexander
