This breaks ia64:

from include/linux/prefetch.h:14,
from include/linux/list.h:8,

include/asm/page.h:170: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `ia64_intri_res'

But for some reason putting ARCH_HAS_GET_ORDER into
include/asm-ia64/bitops.h and including linux/log2.h in
include/asm-ia64/page.h doesn't fix it.

I didn't pursue it further, because sprinkling ARCH_HAS_FOO things into
bitops.h(!) is all rather hacky. Better to use CONFIG_* so they're always
visible and one knows where to go to find things.
