For good or bad, I have been trying to minimize differences with the
analogous i386 files.  With the exception of the copyright and our annoying
litte warning, the only difference was this comment:

--
/* Implemented from the specification included in the Intel C++ Compiler
   User Guide and Reference, version 10.0.  */
--

I didn't find that (1) accurate, since there are no implementations therein,
or (2) particularly informative, as I imagine that document has a much
bigger scope than SSE4.2.  And keeping it would be a bit misleading, I think.
So, I intentionally removed the comment.

Thanks for the review!
