Subject: [PATCH] x86/hweight: boot: llvmlinux: Workaround LLVM Bug PR9457

This workaround is required to boot my Ubuntu/precise AMD64 system when
building with '-no-integrated-as' compiler-flag.

For more details see [1].
See also [2], when IA is used.

Tested with Clang v3.7 and v3.8 against Linux v4.3.y and v4.4.y kernels.
