The get_bits_from_size() calculates the log base-2 of a number.  This is
useful in bit manipulation code working with power-of-2s.

Currently used by qcow2 and needed by qed in a follow-on patch.

int ilog2 (size_t size)
{
    if (size & (size - 1))
        return -1;

    return __builtin_ctzl (size);
}

Ifdef WIN64 omitted for brevity.

What is the situation with WIN64?

long is only 32 bit, so you need __builtin_ctzll.

Thanks Paolo and malc.  It should be easy enough to use the builtin instead.
