is_power_of_2 is simple, and faster than "hweightN(x) == 1" on most architectures.
And the "& 0xf" operation is unnecessary, we will check whether or not greater than 8 behind.

Thanks. I'm not sure that speed is a major concern here, since this
code executes only once during the lifetime of the driver. Readability
is probably more important.
