Could you please elaborate? I thought that, though a bit less
efficient than using the non-default kernel option CPU_DISABLE_SSE for
machines without SSE, there is still the tunable hw.instruction_sse
that allows users with these machines to use GENERIC. Is this
incorrect, or are there other problems for [45]86?
