--- Comment #17 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I'm not sure about that, after all we enable PTA_HLE even for generic. The point is whether it might be beneficial to emit the HLE prefixes or not, on CPUs that never have HLE obviously it doesn't make sense, on CPUs that sometimes or always have it it makes sense.
