Subject: [PATCH] bounds: support non-power-of-two CONFIG_NR_CPUS
ilog2() rounds down, so for example when PowerPC 85xx sets CONFIG_NR_CPUS
to 24, we will only allocate 4 bits to store the number of CPUs instead of
5. Use bits_per() instead, which rounds up. Found by code inspection.
The effect of this would probably be a misaccounting when doing NUMA
balancing, so to a user, it would only be a performance penalty. The
effects may be more wide-spread; it's hard to tell.

The 5.4 patch I just sent also applies cleanly to 4.19.
