Thanks.  But I really hope that a much more elegant solution could be
found.  A general layer of code such as i386-tdep.c should not include
any code that is specific to certain targets.

Why do we always read i386-sse.xml or assume that SSE is supported?
We should not assume any CPU features by default if there are CPUs out
there which we support that don't have them.
