I would just remove #ifdef and use extra shift always.
One additional instruction will not affect performance but
will guaranty the correctness since in 32-bit VM the upper

I looked on Nightly and the test passed:

  Passed: compiler/6823354/Test6823354.java

But they running on Niagara 1 machines which does not have popc
so this code is not exercised.
