I've been thinking about this for a bit... I'm not terribly keen on
different CFLAGS for different parts of the tree.... I'm considering a
dcbz based implementation instead though, especially as Mikey has been
trying to get total executed instruction count down to the absolute
minimum needed (currently down to ~600k from 15M).
