I hurt my brain convincing myself, so I got practical:


int fls(unsigned int x)
{
	return x ? sizeof(x) * 8 - __builtin_clz(x) : 0;
}

static int get_count_order(unsigned l)
{
	if (l == 0)
		return -1;
	else if (l & (l - 1UL))
		return fls(l);
	else
		return fls(l) - 1;
}										

static int get_count_order2(unsigned long l)
{
	if (l == 0)
		return -1;
	return fls(--l);
}

main()
{
	unsigned i;

	for (i = 1; i < 64; i++) {
		printf("%d %d\n", get_count_order(i),
			get_count_order2(i));
	}
}

Got it.
