This series follows up [1].

[1] improves performance by switching from __ffs() + __clear_bit()
in fns() to the equivalent but much faster expression that searches
and clears first N-1 bits:

	while (word && n--)
		word &= word - 1;

We can squeeze out of fns() even more by replacing linear walk over all
the bits in a word with a binary search.

Patch #3 implements it by adding fns8(), fns16(), fns32() and fns64(), 
and patches 1 and 2 are cleanups related to fns().

The last patch creates a MAINTAINERS record for bitops. Currently they
aren't maintained. I add Rasmus and myself as a reviewer and maintainer,
accordingly, just like for bitmaps. Rasmus, please let me know if you
don't want to review it.
