__builtin_ffs{,ll} basically on __builtin_ctz{,ll} in MIPS GCC compiler.
The hardware ctz instructions were available after MIPS{32,64} Release1. By using builtin ctz. It can also reduce code size of ffs/ffsll.

Checked on mips o32. mips64.

LGTM, thanks.

In fact you need to include <sysdep.h> since gcc only defines __mips_isa_rev
for -mips32 or higher.

 Also this causes code pessimisation for MIPS32 and `ffsll', as there is 
no hw instruction for this operation in the 32-bit ABI and consequently 
`__builtin_ffsll' resorts to a libcall.  So IMO USE_FFSLL_BUILTIN ought to 
only be set for 64-bit ABIs, making `ffsll' defer to `ffs' (and then use 
32-bit CLZ as appropriate).

 NB contrary to the change description there is no CTZ instruction in the 
MIPS ISA at any level.  There are: CLO, CLZ, and for 64-bit: DCLO, DCLZ, 
and `__builtin_ctz', etc. can be synthesized with the usual calculation.
