I didn't notice this until now; I see now that I implemented something
with the same purpose as:

/* Returns the index of the rightmost 1-bit in 'x' (e.g. 01011000 => 6), or 32
 * if 'x' is 0.
 *
 * This function only works with 32-bit integers. */
static inline uint32_t
leftmost_1bit_idx(uint32_t x)
{
    return x ? log_2_floor(x) : 32;
}
