Could you add support for V4HI and V2SI at the same time?

I think it's possible to handle all 5 modes iteratively, like so:

(define_expand "popcount<mode>2"
  [(set (match_operand:VDQHSD 0 "register_operand")
        (popcount:VDQHSD (match_operand:VDQHSD 1 "register_operand")))]
  "TARGET_SIMD"
{
  /* Generate a byte popcount.  */
  machine_mode mode = <bitsize> == 64 ? V8QImode : V16QImode;
  rtx tmp = gen_reg_rtx (mode);
  auto icode = optab_handler (popcount_optab, mode);
  emit_insn (GEN_FCN (icode) (tmp, gen_lowpart (mode, operands[1])));

  /* Use a sequence of UADDLPs to accumulate the counts.  Each step doubles
     the element size and halves the number of elements.  */
  do
    {
      auto icode = code_for_aarch64_addlp (ZERO_EXTEND, GET_MODE (tmp));
      mode = insn_data[icode].operand[0].mode;
      rtx dest = mode == <MODE>mode ? operands[0] : gen_reg_rtx (mode);
      emit_insn (GEN_FCN (icode) (dest, tmp));
      tmp = dest;
    }
  while (mode != <MODE>mode);
  DONE;
})

(only lightly tested).  This requires changing:

(define_expand "aarch64_<su>addlp<mode>"

to:

(define_expand "@aarch64_<su>addlp<mode>"
