I think this is really confusing.


"ARCH has its own optimized hweight implementation"

is not equivalent to

"ARCH does not need generic hweight at all".


For example, see

arch/powerpc/lib/hweight_64.S


As far as I understood the code,
it will fallback to generic lib/hweight.c
if it turns out the optimized one is not available.


Thanks.
