I know what it does, nothing :-)
VIS developer support is distributed in Sun's "Vis Developer Kit".
Which is a couple header files plus a bunch of inline assembler
macros to get at the actual instructions. No vector types or any
of the other fancy stuff Altivec provides.
I'll do something similar for GCC, using builtins, one for each
VIS instruction.
