x86 BMI-style bit manipulation routines

Synopsis

This library provides various bit manipulation routines not available in Rust std. Currently it is just a portable implementation of the x86 ABM, BMI 1/2, and TBM instruction sets but the API may expand in the future. The implementation will (eventually) take advantage of specialized hardware instructions available on the native platform.

Documentation
