I looked at the code generated by gcc for __builtin_ffs(), and while
it did use BFFFO, it needs several other instructions.

The same can be seen in arch/m68k/include/asm/bitops.h:

static inline int ffs(int x)
{
int cnt;

__asm__ ("bfffo %1{#0:#0},%0"
: "=d" (cnt)
: "dm" (x & -x));
return 32 - cnt;
}


Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

Geert
