This patchset does rework to find_bit function family to achieve better
performance, and decrease size of text. All rework is done in patch 1.
Patches 2 and 3 are about code moving and renaming.
It was boot-tested on x86_64 and MIPS (big-endian) machines.
Performance tests were ran on userspace with code like this:
/* addr[] is filled from /dev/urandom */
start = clock();
while (ret < nbits)
ret = find_next_bit(addr, nbits, ret + 1);
end = clock();
printf("%ld\t", (unsigned long) end - start);
On Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz measurements are: (for
find_next_bit, nbits is 8M, for find_first_bit - 80K)
find_next_bit: find_first_bit:

find_next_bit performance gain is 35-40%;
find_first_bit - no measurable difference.
On ARM machine, there is arch-specific implementation for find_bit.
Thanks a lot to George Spelvin and Rasmus Villemoes for hints and
helpful discussions.
This patch (of 3):
New implementations takes less space in source file (see diffstat) and in
object. For me it's 710 vs 453 bytes of text. It also shows better
performance.
find_last_bit description fixed due to obvious typo.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: include linux/bitmap.h, per Rasmus]

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

The style that we normally use in asm-generic is to test the macro itself
for existence, so in asm-generic, do:
#ifndef find_next_zero_bit_le
extern unsigned long find_next_zero_bit_le(const void *addr,
unsigned long size, unsigned long offset);
#endif
and in the architectures, write
static inline unsigned long find_next_zero_bit_le(const void *addr,
unsigned long size, unsigned long offset)
#define find_next_zero_bit_le find_next_zero_bit_le
This adds the #ifndef for each of the find bitops in the generic header
and source files.
