  • The ia64-version of fls() never worked as intended (the bitnumbering
    was off by 1 and fls(0) was undefined). This patch fixes the problem
    by using a popcnt-based fls(), which on McKinley-derived cores is
    slightly faster than both ia64_fls() and generic_fls(). The resulting
    code, however, is bigger (7-8 bundles instead of about 3 bundles).
    Also switch ia64_popcnt() to __builtin_popcountl() for GCC v3.4 or
    newer since the compiler can predicate that and schedule it better.

    Thanks to Simon Derr and Matt Mackall for tracking down this bug.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
