    include: introduce byte counting functions. · 3937db18
    Peter Hutterer authored
    This patch adds the following three functions:
     bits_to_bytes(bits) - the number of bytes needed to hold 'bits'
     bytes_to_int32(bytes) - the number of 4-byte units to hold 'bytes'
     pad_to_int32(bytes) - the closest multiple of 4 equal to or larger than
                            'bytes'.
    
    All three operations are common in protocol processing and currently the
    server has ((foo + 7)/8 + 3)/4 operations all over the place. A common set
    of functions reduce the error rate of these (albeit simple) calculations and
    improve readability of the code.
    
    The functions do not check for overflow.
    
    v2: backport to nx-libs 3.6.x as a prereq for
    the CVE-2015-0255 fix (Mike DePaulo)
