While I tend to hate the proliferation of *mmintrin.h files and have been
guilty of the same, I should note that other compilers for the x86 use these
files also, and that we should strive to make sure that there exists
bmmintrin.h, ammintrin.h, smmintrin.h, emmintrin.h, etc. that includes
ia32inntrin.h or whatever so that these programs will continue to work.
