> > From what I can see of the geode-gcc-4.2.patch on gnashdev.org, it
does not do anything for the two new geode-specific 3dnow instructions,
which include the very useful inverse sqrt. Shall I take a look to see if
it's in gcc 4.3 at all, and try my hand at pulling it into the patch, or
adding a peephole optimization for it if it isn't supported in gcc yet?
The patch was originally developed for the Geode GX, so yes, it would be a
good idea to add this instruction as I believe it'll help performance on
the LX.
