Actually, that's less ugly than I feared...  if we wanted to pretty it
up a little, we could simply omit the __get_cpuid() bit, since that's
x86 specific, and just use the __builtin_cpu_supports() if it is
available on gcc 4.8 and newer.  If it is not available, we could just
always use the software version of popcnt, since it's really not that
bad.

What about the people who prefer to use clang instad of gcc; does
clang have support for any of this magic?

Cheers,
