It's rather long and code repeats...

Code in asm-alpha/bitops.h, asm-arm, asm-generic, parts of
asm-i386/bitops.h, etc. seems exactly same to me. Copying is not good
programming technology. Maybe you should create functions like
generic_ffs() in linux/bitops.h, and #define ffs generic_ffs in
arch-specific pieces?
