On my side, from what I've seen so far, your version results in better
assembly, esp. with clang, but my first version
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1875407:
        x += (x << 32) + (x >> 32);
	return (__force __wsum)(x >> 32);
resulted in even better assembly, I just verified with gcc/clang,
x86_64/ARM and -O1,2,3.
