Right, doh. Ok, just added it and it builds fine with a gcc (Gentoo
4.4.1 p1.0) 4.4.1. If you have suspicion that some older gcc versions
might choke on it, I could leave the "=D" dummy constraint in?

BTW, the current version screams

/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/arch_hweight.h: In function ‘__arch_hweight64’:
/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/arch_hweight.h:47: warning: unused variable ‘dummy’

on x86-32. I'll send a fixed version in a second.
