Ok, here's a new version. Let me know what do you think before I hammer
on it more seriously. But booting in kvm with "-popcnt" and without
seems to work, no splats, corruptions or whatnot.

I've also been running POPCNT vs the asm versions in userspace and
comparing results, looks good too, seems to work correctly. :)

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/hweight: Get rid of the special calling convention

People complained about ARCH_HWEIGHT_CFLAGS and how it throws a
wrench into kcov, lto, etc, experimentation. Add asm versions for
__sw_hweight{32,64}() and do explicitly saving and restoring of
clobbered registers. This gets rid of the special calling convention.

We still need to hardcode POPCNT and register operands as some old gas
versions which we support, do not know about POPCNT.

Btw, remove redundant REX prefix from 32-bit POPCNT because alternatives
can do padding now.
