If sparse warns about it, then presumably gcc with -Wvla warns about it too?

And if thats the case, then __builtin_constant_p() and a ternary
operation isn't good enough, because gcc -Wvla is even more anal than
sparse is.

Which is why we have that __is_constexpr() magic for min/max().

So I suspect that what you'd want is

  #define ilog2(n) \
        __builtin_choose_expr(__is_constexpr(n), \
                const_ilog2(n), \
                __builtin_choose_expr(sizeof(n) <= 4, \
                        __ilog2_u32(n), \
                        __ilog2_u64(n)))

or something. Hmm?
