Are you implying DragonFly uses FPU/SIMD? For that matter does any kernel?
AFAIK DragonFly _allows_ code to use the FPU/SIMD in the kernel. And AFAIR they use SIMD in b{copy,zero} (we do this too, but we do this is in a "controlled environment" whereas DFly just allows the use of FPU/SIMD in an "use as you like" manner everywhere).
