Utilizing the 8 and 16 bit comparison instructions, even when an input can
be folded into the comparison instruction itself, is typically not worth it.
There are too many partial register stalls as a result, leading to significant
slowdowns. By always performing comparisons on at least 32-bit
registers, performance of the calculation chain leading to the
comparison improves. Continue to use the smaller comparisons when
minimizing size, as that allows better folding of loads into the
comparison instructions.

This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.

This shaves off 4 popcounts from the hacked 186.crafty source.
This is enabled even when a native popcount instruction is available. The
combined code is one operation longer but it should be faster nevertheless.
