It will never work on for an example of s390, arm, hppa, ia64, etc.
Some of those are the primary targets so you are saying this feature
will only work on two targets.

Also this discussion should have take place in public as shown above
it does not work for all targets.

New instruction which I just made up:

tsains which takes two operands, one is the top of the fp stack and another
is a SSE register, there is no way currently in your model to support this
except to release a new GCC.

The correct way of implementing this would be create a file which is read
in for the targets at compile time.

This would make it easier to support more targets faster instead of changing
the target macros.  Also if I look at the Apple branch I notice a lot of
if TARGET_I386 inside stuff like c-decl.c and such which is just wrong.
