Dear all,

Would you please review the following change that enables POWER9’s instructions for counting trailing zeros?

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8214205
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mhorie/8214205/webrev.00/

Simple micro benchmark attached showed improvements by around 30%.
(See attached file: CNTTZTest.java)

Currently, Gustavo@IBM can test POWER9 specific changes. (Thanks Gustavo!)
