I'm not Arnd :-) , but since I'm poking at it anyways,.. how about
this? 



In an attempt to make it easier for a power5 optimized app to run on a 
power4 or a 970 or random earlier machine, this provides emulation of
the popcntb instruction.
This version incorporates the suggestions from Arnd, Kumar and Segher;
including using a better MASK for popcntb, updating the existing masks
to include the msb for the instruction primary opcode.
