MIPS doesn't have architecture-optimized bitsearching functions,
like find_{first,next}_bit() etc.
It's absolutely harmless to enable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT as this
functionality is not new at all and well-tested. It provides more
optimized code and saves some .text memory (32 R2):
add/remove: 4/1 grow/shrink: 1/53 up/down: 216/-372 (-156)
Users of for_each_set_bit() like hotpath gic_handle_shared_int()
will also benefit from this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
