Using the jump table was a much easier thing for me to do when fixing the
computation for the Thumb mode compilation.  The real motivation here was
to use the Thumb mode instructions in the ARMv6T2-early ARMv7 chips which
lack the udiv/sdiv instructions but do support clz.  I should be able to
run benchmarks on the machine that I tested with (ARMv7).
