This patch leverages the alternative mechanism to dynamically optimize bitops (including __ffs, __fls, ffs, fls) with Zbb instructions. When Zbb ext is not supported by the runtime CPU, legacy implementation is used. If Zbb is supported, then the optimized variants will be selected via alternative patching. The legacy bitops support is taken from the generic C implementation as fallback. If the parameter is a build-time constant, we leverage compiler builtin to calculate the result directly, this approach is inspired by x86 bitops implementation. EFI stub runs before the kernel, so alternative mechanism should not be used there, this patch introduces a macro NO_ALTERNATIVE for this purpose.
