Why would it be?  Maybe I misunderstand the calculation but it seems to me that
a table-based solution, similar to one for popcount, would also do the work?!

I am not saying that it would be better than Gerd's code, but my point is that I
would expect that there is a solution mearly as fast as a general popcount (not
one specific for sparse boards).
