Efficient Algorithm for Bit Reversal (from MSB->LSB to LSB->MSB) in C

Question

What is the most efficient algorithm to achieve the following:

0010 0000 => 0000 0100

The conversion is from MSB->LSB to LSB->MSB. All bits

Answer 1

I know it isn't C but asm:

var1 dw 0f0f0
clc
     push ax
     push cx
     mov cx 16
loop1:
     shl var1
     shr ax
loop loop1
     pop ax
     pop cx

This works with the carry bit, so you may save flags too
