vmxnet3 device supports only power-of-two number of queues. The driver
therefore needs to check this and rounds down the number of queues to the
nearest power of two.

No need to do the check, just do:

	num_rx_queues = rounddown_pow_of_two(num_rx_queues);

Thanks,
Dmitry

I just want to point out that rounddown_pow_of_two() returns 0 when (1) the input is 1; and (2) the __buildin_constant_p(n) path is taken.  In the vmxnet3 case, even if num_rx_queues is 1, we are safe as its value is not known to be constant at compile time and 1 will be returned by taking the other path (1UL << (fls_long(n) - 1)). The original check of power_of_two is there just to be on the safe side.

Related to this, I wonder if we should always return 1 when the input is 1 (1 is also a power of two as 2^0). I don't have the history of this API though and curious if there are any users of this API that depend on this behavior?

Thanks,
Yong
