There's sandybridge addsub to do and that will finish the asm part of toom 
evaluation for +-1 , I'll write the C bit , and then do the asm for evaluation 
at +-2 +-1/2 +-4 etc , this will consist of inclsh's/incrsh's and then perhaps 
do a toom23 interpolation combined with a  reconstitution if it seems worth 
while(karasub/add was the toom22 version of this). That will be all for now on 
toom from me. Then I want to try to improve our *_basecase's , that will 
probably all I get to do before our next release. How's the FFT going? Let me 
know what linear asm stuff might be needed so I can start thinking about it , 
even if I write no code.

Possible skynet may be able to accommodate this if the kernel has the right 
Capability handling in it , ie you can restrict a particular sudo to only one 
aspect of the system.
