# older gas and ml64 don't handle SSE>2 instructions
# Upon initial x86_64 introduction SSE>2 extensions were not introduced
# yet. In order not to be bothered by tracing exact assembler versions,
# but at the same time to provide a bare security minimum of AES-NI, we
# hard-code some instructions. Extensions past AES-NI on the other hand
# are traced by examining assembler version in individual perlasm
# modules...
