/// - [`POPCNT`](http://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/POPCNT.html):
///   - Description: Population Count.
///   - Architecture: x86.
///   - Instruction set: ABM, SSE 4.2.
///   - Registers: 16/32/64 bit.
///   - Note: Intel considers it part of SSE4.2 but advertises it with its own
///   CPUID flag.
///
/// # Example
/// ```
/// use bitintr::x86::abm::*;
/// assert_eq!(popcnt(0b0101_1010u16), 4);
/// assert_eq!(0b0101_1010u16.popcnt(), 4);
/// ```
