How does this change relate to this patch? I can't see the new symbol
being used anywhere.

__ffs ? Or wait, ...

... this actually describes ffs(), not __ffs(), and the implementation
doesn't match the description. The correct description for this function
(as Linux also has it)

 * Undefined if no bit exists, so code should check against 0 first.

Which raises a question regarding "Taken from Linux-6.4.0-rc1" in the
description. ffs.h pretty clearly also doesn't come from there.

I first I thought I might withdraw my earlier request to split all of
this up. But with just these two observations I now feel it's even
more important that you do, so every piece can be properly attributed
to (and then checked for) its origin.
