I am not familiar with the context of this but the three way bit-wise
majority can be implemented much more efficiently  using the identity:
majority3(a, b, c) = (a & b) | (a & c) | (b & c)
This can be factorized slightly to (a & (b | c)) | (b & c)
This enables the operation to be performed 8, 16, 32 or even 64 bits at
a time depending on the hardware.

Cheers,
Chris
