Hello Gedare,

thanks for review.

The code is copy of arm_cp15_data_cache_invalidate_all_levels()
with replaced cache operation line.

There has been already __builtin_clz in the source and it is used
in more places in the code. I have not found reasonable portable
replacement which would compile well (this result in single
assembler instruction on ARMv5+, x86 etc.).

The ffs ffsl etc has been adopted by standard. But I cannot
find something like clz, fls in the standards. There is only
floating point log2 in math.h.

So I see as option to define CLZ somehow centrally in CPUkit
header to __builtin_clz for GCC. ARM and even Microsoft compilers
have equivalent operation (under other name) directly available
by compiler as well.

But such update of __builtin_clz  should go to other patch which
takes care of all RTEMS use locations.

Best wishes,
