I don't think doing this unconditionally for any CPU is a good idea. On AArch64 we don't enable this for any core since it's not really faster (newer CPUs have significantly improved division and the reciprocal instructions reduce throughput of other FMAs). On wrf doing reciprocal square root is far better than reciprocal division, but it's only faster on some specific CPUs, so it's not enabled by default. Wilco
