So, per our IRC discussion this afternoon, I think the current plan for
this is to have ld.so treat CMOV as an optional extension, similar to
how MMX is handled.  In other words:

 - Add CMOV to HWCAP_IMPORTANT in glibc.

 - Ask the maintainers of openssl and any other affected packages to put
their cmov-using libraries in /lib/i686/cmov. 

 - If openssl wants to ship a specific C3-compatible build that only
uses mandatory i686 features, it can go in /lib/i686.
