2010-12-09	powerpc: Hardcode popcnt instructions for old assemblers	Anton Blanchard
	The popcnt instructions went into binutils relatively recently. As with a number of other instructions, create macros and hardcode them. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-29	powerpc: Add support for popcnt instructions	Anton Blanchard
	POWER5 added popcntb, and POWER7 added popcntw and popcntd. As a first step this patch does all the work out of line, but it would be nice to implement them as inlines with an out of line fallback. The performance issue with hweight was noticed when disabling SMT on a large (192 thread) POWER7 box. The patch improves that testcase by about 8%.
