Yes I was hoping to do the generic case initially, I had a version implemented in X86ISelLowering which was handling the case (ak == 0 || ... || an == 0), but this caused some optimisation opportunities in h264's hot functions to be missed. Not quite sure why this happened, it seems that there are optimisations occurring before Instruction selection that will undo lzcnt + shr optimisations.
