[PATCH] gnumach: kalloc: Zone determining and constants optimization

Variables, which change their value only once, by the initialization were defined as macros. Routine for determining zone for object depends of object size. Since zone sizes are powers of two this routine was optimized. On x86 proceessors will be used bsr instruction. Signed-off-by: Maksym Planet

Note that rol...@redhat.com is an obsolete address. I've redirected the CC to bug-hurd, since this is a Hurd-only issue that needs discussion. That's the --no-add-needed default. Some systems have gone to passing that in the standard ld command from gcc, even using BFD ld (i.e. Fedora has). I ac
