Checking the math for the documented possible values of pos.  What we want:

0 => 0
16 => 1
64 => 2
128 => 3
256 => 4
512 => 5
1024 => 6
4294967295 => 7

So looks OK.  Do we care about anything other than the documented
numbers?  If my understanding of ilog2 is correct, then you'll get the
wrong answer for 17.  I think you could fix it with:

pos = min(max(ilog2(pos), 3), 11) - (pos >= 32 ? 4 : 3);
