Maybe not. If you tell it to tune for an in-order machine like Cell, it
swaps them round. Although now I'm confused about which of POWER[567]
were in-order:

[dwmw2 at i7 ~]$ powerpc64-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -S -o- bswapdi2.c -m32  | grep -B1 mr
	rlwimi 11,3,24,16,23
	mr 4,11
	mr 3,10
[dwmw2 at i7 ~]$ powerpc64-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -S -o- bswapdi2.c -m32 -mtune=cell | grep -B1 mr
	rlwimi 11,3,24,16,23
	mr 3,10
	mr 4,11
[dwmw2 at i7 ~]$ powerpc64-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -S -o- bswapdi2.c -m32 -mtune=power5 | grep -B1 mr
	rlwimi 11,3,24,16,23
	mr 3,10
	mr 4,11
[dwmw2 at i7 ~]$ powerpc64-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -S -o- bswapdi2.c -m32 -mtune=power6 | grep -B1 mr
	rlwimi 11,3,24,16,23
	mr 4,11
	mr 3,10
[dwmw2 at i7 ~]$ powerpc64-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -S -o- bswapdi2.c -m32 -mtune=power7 | grep -B1 mr
	rlwimi 11,3,24,16,23
	mr 4,11
	mr 3,10
