commit 37953497d8689bdde65837b00f56bf8ff1e0e459

    Don't compute ((uint64_t)1)<<64 in round_to_power_of_2
    
    This would be undefined behavior if it happened. (It can't actually
    happen as we're using round_to_power_of_2, since we would have to
    be trying to allocate exabytes of data.)
    
    While we're at it, fix the behavior of round_to_power_of_2(0),
    and document the function better.
    
    Fix for bug 6831.
