------- Additional Comments From ak at muc dot de 2004-12-22 23:53 ------- FWIW i compiled a full 3.3-hammer compiled 2.6.10rc3 x86-64 kernel for suspicious use of %xmm or %mm and there wasn't any.
There also is a warning in all 2.6 x86-64 kernels for kernel FPU use at runtime. So at least on x86-64 it doesn't seem to be a real issue in practice. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19102
