I don't even *want* to think of what this would be for x86.

These are what I can think of, so far, with regards to different
support
on different chips.

x86 (everything)
i586 (everything i586-compatible)
i586 + mmx (pentium-mmx)
i686 (everything i686-compatible)
i686 + mmx (pentium2+, athlon+)
i686 + mmx + sse (pentium3+, athlon-xp+)
i686 + mmx + sse + sse2 (pentium4+, athlon64+, opteron+)
i686 + mmx + see + sse2 + sse3 (some pentium4, some athlon64, some
opteron)
i686 + mmx + 3dnow (athlon+)
i686 + mmx + 3dnow + sse (athlon-xp+)
i686 + mmx + 3dnow + sse + sse2 (athlon64+, opteron+)
i686 + mmx + 3dnow + sse + sse2 + sse3 (some athlon64, some opteron)
