Description kaz 2001-01-10 12:40:01 UTC 
	FreeBSD4.2R's gcc 2.95.2 & gas 2.10.0 can compile & assemble MMX2,SSE
	instructions. But SSE instructions can't run on 4.2R's kernel. I don't
	know about 5-current, but I want to use SSE instructions on 4-stable.
	Please merge this patch.
	This patch is origined from titech.ac.jp(sorry I forget the URL).

	Caution: This patch has NOT tested on mendocino celeron.

Fix: Apply this patch, and append "option CPU_ENABLE_SSE" to kernel
	configuration file. Then recompile the kernel.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Any code that uses SSE instructions(XMM registers).

This functionality was added to -STABLE on August 15th.  Does the new 
implementation meet your needs?

The submitter is happy with our SSE implementation in -STABLE.
