Subject: [4.4.y] llvmlinux: Backport "x86/hweight: Get rid of the special
 calling convention"

Hi,

I backported the patch of Borislav Petkov from [1] to Linux v4.4.0 LTS
and it fixes a long standing issue with llvmlinux.
Hope the patch is correct.

The patch I had in series is now obsolete.

Thanks for the patch!

Regards,
