Actually I need to withdraw that. It meanwhile occurred to me that the
compiler ought to recognize this pattern. And indeed gcc doesn't even
have a builtin for it; its BMI intrinsic for BLSI (on x86 that is)
specifically expands to x & -x, which the backend then is expected to
deal with as appropriate. And indeed it can be observed to, with my
"x86: allow Kconfig control over psABI level" in place.

Just as a reminder: I'd still like to see the further renaming done
(to ISOLATE_LSB()). If I was to commit this patch, I'd be fine doing
so while committing.
