The ia64-version of fls() never worked as intended (the bitnumbering
was off by 1 and fls(0) was undefined). This patch fixes the problem
by using a popcnt-based fls(), which on McKinley-derived cores is
slightly faster than both ia64_fls() and generic_fls(). The resulting
code, however, is bigger (7-8 bundles instead of about 3 bundles).
Also switch ia64_popcnt() to __builtin_popcountl() for GCC v3.4 or
newer since the compiler can predicate that and schedule it better.
Thanks to Simon Derr and Matt Mackall for tracking down this bug.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
