Subject: [SDL] Detecting Opteron CPU features
I can now get SDL_cpuinfo.c to detect the AMD Opteron's RDTSC, MMX, MMXEXT,
3DNOW, 3DNOWEXT, SSE, and SSE2 instruction set extensions under Linux. It
took one #ifdef'ed block of new asm code to account for the 64-bit flags
register, but the other two blocks worked fine without modification, just
needed to modify the #ifdef's a bit.

Subject: Re: [SDL] 3DNow! detection on a P4 system
Well... I found another bug : 3dnow was detected on P2/P3 cpus. So I
took one more look at the code and found a mistake in
CPU_getCPUIDFeaturesExt :
The condition for having extended cpuinfo is that when we query extended
cpuinfo we get a result >= 0x80000001. So we must exit if eax < 0x80000001.
The attached patch does that.

Subject: SDL_HasAltiVec; BUGS file
the attached patch adds SDL_HasAltiVec to SDL CVS. Note that at this
point, this only works on MacOSX (and maybe darwin). I don't know how
to properly add a test for e.g. Linux/PPC at this point. I found an
email which might help in doing so:
http://zebra.fh-weingarten.de/~maxi/html/mplayer-dev-eng/2003-01msg00783.html
However, since I have no way to test on a non-OSX PowerPC system, I am
not comfortable blindly adding such code... I just hope that if
somebody from the Linux/PPC (or FreeBSD/PPC, or whatever) community
notices this, they'll jump up and provide a patch for us ;-)
