I encountered the following problem with kernel 2.4-test4 on an dual
Celeron machine

calling the find_first_zero_bit inline function works well inside a loop
eg:

        do {
                i = find_first_zero_bit(p, num_bits);
                if (i == num_bits)
                    break;
                set_bit(i%32, p+(i/32));
 
        }while(1);

but when manually unrolling the loop the function seems to be called only
once...

I'm compiling with gcc-2.95.2 for Intel arch

the following patch fixes the problem, I'm unsure if it is the right way
to go.

If there's any comment about this reply to me directly as I'm not on the
list

thanks
