Hexagon didn't have a_clz_64 implemented however I added this morning it and
noticed no differences. I will update the patch with that routine included.
I did notice a compiler regression in how it compiled fma and have asked a
compiler person to take a look. An older version of our internally
maintained compiler does produce the expected results for the values I used
but later versions do not. Unfortunately changing optimization levels will
produce different results as well.
