2007-03-06	Revert "[PATCH] LOG2: Alter get_order() so that it can make use of ilog2() ↵	Linus Torvalds
	on a constant" This reverts commit 39d61db0edb34d60b83c5e0d62d0e906578cc707. The commit was buggy in multiple ways: - the conversion to ilog2() was incorrect to begin with - it tested the wrong #defines, so on all architectures but FRV you'd never see the bug except for constant arguments. - the new "get_order()" macro used its arguments multiple times, and didn't even parenthesize them properly - despite the comments, it was not true that you could use it for constant initializers, since not all architectures even use the generic page.h header file. All of the problems are individually fixable, but it all boils down to: better just revert it, and re-do it from scratch.

2006-12-08	[PATCH] LOG2: Alter get_order() so that it can make use of ilog2() on a constant	David Howells
	Alter get_order() so that it can make use of ilog2() on a constant to produce a constant value, retaining the ability for an arch to override it in the non-const case.

2005-09-05	[PATCH] mm: consolidate get_order	Stephen Rothwell
	Someone mentioned that almost all the architectures used basically the same implementation of get_order. This patch consolidates them into asm-generic/page.h and includes that in the appropriate places. The exceptions are ia64 and ppc which have their own (presumably optimised) versions.
