Is this just to get the sse4 popcnt instruction if we compile with
-mcpu=sse4? The slightly odd thing is that we're using a built-in, yet
configure still does an arch/cpu check. I'd expect the built-in/compiler to
do that for us based on -mcpu, and we could always unconditionally use this
(as long as gcc >= 4.5); alternatively, you could use inline asm and then
have the configure check (HAVE_FAST_POPCNT). But doing both seems a little
odd. I have no objection to it, patch is still fine, just odd.
