Why do we need that? AFAIK, no other x86 > intrinsics have this kind of duplication. That is because one kind of these intrinsics originates from AMD (support for AMD BMI is what went into GCC first) and the other from ICC which chose to provide different names. So, for backwards compatibility we need both sets.
