--- Comment #5 from Tom Hughes <t...@compton.nu> ---
Because nobody has provided a patch to implement it?

Perhaps you are under the belief that we have a full time team of programmers
paid to read each new architecture and immediately implement all the new
instructions? I'm afraid that is not how it works.

The simple answer is that commonly used instructions are always going to be the
first to get implemented when only limited resources are available, and
instructions specific to a minority processor brand are less likely to get done
because most people build code to target a broad range of processors so will
never encounter such instructions.

Of course if somebody offers a high quality patch to implement them then I'm
sure it would be gratefully accepted.
