All callers under clz64() are inline, so the optimizer can see that
there are no side effects and move the code if it would be faster;
I thought that separating it would only make the code uglier, because
QEMU doesn't allow lazy declarations ...

Markus had another design issue with this patch, so I'll send a v2 after
reaching the conclusion there.

Thanks.
