46*2fe8fb19SBen GrasThe
47*2fe8fb19SBen Gras.Fn ffs
48*2fe8fb19SBen Grasfunction finds the first bit set in
49*2fe8fb19SBen Gras.Fa value
50*2fe8fb19SBen Grasand returns the index of that bit.
51*2fe8fb19SBen GrasBits are numbered starting from 1, starting at the right-most
52*2fe8fb19SBen Grasbit.
53*2fe8fb19SBen GrasA return value of 0 means that the argument was zero.
