[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH] utils: Add up_pow_of_two()

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

This adds a helper to get closest bigger power-of-two value.

It is a log2 of round up to power of two. Is there anything like this
in QEMU already? Any better name than up_pow_of_two()?

I'll use this little helper later to calculate a DMA window shift as
POWERPC PAPR architecture operates with shifts rather than bytes or TCE entries.

Thanks!
