question on generics, constants in vhdl

[geoffrey wall]

suppose I want calculate the log2(N)
were N is an integer valued generic parameter
in my design, now, lets say i would like to
use log2(N) as a parameter in a for ... generate
statement, is there a way to do this?
I dont want the log2(N) to be synthesized into my
hardware, i just want to use the result in a loop
