No, it should work on all.  __builtin_clzll argument is long long, which
should be 64-bit on all architectures Linux kernel supports (and all
architectures GCC supports - ok, avr with -mint8 doesn't, but it isn't C
requirements compatible in that case).
const_ilog2 also uses long long and will work with any long long or
unsigned long long value (but e.g. not with __uint128_t values on 64-bit
architectures, guess the kernel doesn't need that though).
And similarly, for the non-constant operands the sizeof below ensures
that __ilog2_u64 is used (even on 32-bit arches) and will handle that.
