Do we remove existing __builtin_ct[l]z?
Some architecture's __builtin_clz will be more optimized than N-fls
IMHO, This is not only about __builtin- but also supporting another
libgcc functions in kernel.
Some future user may need __clz[t]s[d]i2 symbol also.

I will re-work this for 64-bit, and ctz also.
