Pull final removal of deprecated cpus_* cpumask functions from Rusty Russell:
 "This is the final removal (after several years!) of the obsolete
  cpus_* functions, prompted by their mis-use in staging.

  With these function removed, all cpu functions should only iterate to
  nr_cpu_ids, so we finally only allocate that many bits when cpumasks
  are allocated offstack"

Using these functions with offstack cpus is unsafe.  They use all NR_CPUS
bits, unstead of nr_cpumask_bits.

In particular, lustre (in staging) used cpus_ and that caused a bug.

   - s/boolean/bool/ in Kconfig files for consistency, with the plan to
     only support bool in the future"

this change add CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BITREVERSE config option,
so that we can use some architecture's bitrev hardware instruction
to do bitrev operation.

Introduce __constant_bitrev* macro for constant bitrev operation.

Change __bitrev16() __bitrev32() to be inline function,
don't need export symbol for these tiny functions.

<title>Make ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER a real config variable</title>

It used to be an ad-hoc hack defined by the x86 version of
&lt;asm/bitops.h&gt; that enabled a couple of library routines to know whether
an integer multiply is faster than repeated shifts and additions.

This just makes it use the real Kconfig system instead, and makes x86
(which was the only architecture that did this) select the option.

NOTE! Even for x86, this really is kind of wrong.  If we cared, we would
probably not enable this for builds optimized for netburst (P4), where
shifts-and-adds are generally faster than multiplies.  This patch does
*not* change that kind of logic, though, it is purely a syntactic change
with no code changes.

This was triggered by the fact that we have other places that really
want to know "do I want to expand multiples by constants by hand or
not", particularly the hash generation code.

This was useful during development, and is retained for future
regression testing.

GCC appears to have no way to place string literals in a particular
section; adding __initconst to a char pointer leaves the string itself
in the default string section, where it will not be thrown away after
module load.

Thus all string constants are kept in explicitly declared and named
arrays.  Sorry this makes printk a bit harder to read.  At least the
tests are more compact.
