This can be replaced with

  register int res=w;
  res=res-((res>>1)&0x55555555);
  res=(res&0x33333333)+((res>>2)&0x33333333);
  res=(res+(res>>4))&0x0f0f0f0f;
  res=res+(res>>8);
  return (res+(res>>16)) & 0xff;

Similar optimizations can be applied to the routines below. Please see
http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmixware.html errata and the code
in mmix-arith.w for the complete set of optimizations and credits.

http://www.jjj.de/fxt/fxtbook.pdf is another inspirational source for
such algorithms.
