Is there a benefit to this approach other than __ffs64() being faster?
It is a neglibible performance gain anyway because this is hidden
behind efi=debug, and so by definition you're not looking for ultra
performance.

Which makes picking between __ffs64() and non-__ffs64() a wash if
we're not going to be reusing existing code.
