We handle this kind of thing on SPARC (eg for vis and v9 code) by having |
| 14 |
subprofiles for the different CPU capabilities, and using masks in the |
| 15 |
appropriate subprofiles. Doing this could be a bit messy on x86 though, |
| 16 |
at least until we get full profile inheritance capabilities... |
