Description:
------------
Zend/zend_alloc.c uses __builtin_clzl in zend_mm_high_bit and zend_mm_low_but, but only if (defined(__arm__) ||  defined(__aarch64__)). This is overly restrictive: it's also usable if __defined__(__powerpc__).

This causes a bump to speed on POWER systems: previously zend_mm_high_bit shows up on perf reports, with this patch the functions drop out of the profile entirely.

Dmitry, can you verify if this patch can safely go into 5.6? It is obsolete for master it seems
 [2015-05-28 08:30 UTC] dmitry@php.net 
Looks fine.

I committed this only to 5.6, as 5.5 is going to security only mode in 22 days (unless Julien decides it should go through).

This should be available in 5.6.10 (on 11th of June)

1. This also went into PHP 5.5.
2. Should that be powerpc64 instead of powerpc ?

Lior, it probably should. Feel free to take over this report if you like as I cannot verify anything on a PPC.
