[aarch64-port-dev ] RFR: 8129426: aarch64: add support for PopCount in C2

[Edward Nevill]

Hi,

Aarch64 currently does not support the PopCountI and PopCountL nodes in aarch64.ad

The following webrev adds support for these using the SIMD instructions 'cnt' and 'addv'

This patch was contributed by alexander.alexeev at caviumnetworks.com

The patch only modifies aarch64 specific files.

I have merged the patch in and tested it with JTreg / hotspot with the following results for both original and revised

Test results: passed: 858; failed: 4; error: 6

I have benchmarked the patch on four different partner platforms. The average improvement was 2.6X for PopCountI and 2.5X for PopCountL.

Please review,

Thanks,
Ed.
