BTW, I mis-entered the optimization level before.  The code generation was at
-O2 when the mulhw was expanded into shifts/adds with the default P6 tuning. 
At -O3 and up, the mulhw is intact.

This is all explained by the default tuning model in place during testing,
since Power6 had a poorer performing integer multiply than the other machine
models.
