 | add gcc builtins for alpha instructions | 
 |  | 
 |  | 
 | *** | 
 |  | 
 | custom expand byteswap into nifty  | 
 | extract/insert/mask byte/word/longword/quadword low/high | 
 | sequences | 
 |  | 
 | *** | 
 |  | 
 | see if any of the extract/insert/mask operations can be added | 
 |  | 
 | *** | 
 |  | 
 | match more interesting things for cmovlbc cmovlbs (move if low bit clear/set) | 
 |  | 
 | *** | 
 |  | 
 | lower srem and urem | 
 |  | 
 | remq(i,j):  i - (j * divq(i,j)) if j != 0 | 
 | remqu(i,j): i - (j * divqu(i,j)) if j != 0 | 
 | reml(i,j):  i - (j * divl(i,j)) if j != 0 | 
 | remlu(i,j): i - (j * divlu(i,j)) if j != 0 | 
 |  |

 | add crazy vector instructions (MVI): | 
 |  | 
 | (MIN|MAX)(U|S)(B8|W4) min and max, signed and unsigned, byte and word | 
 | PKWB, UNPKBW pack/unpack word to byte | 
 | PKLB UNPKBL pack/unpack long to byte | 
 | PERR pixel error (sum across bytes of bytewise abs(i8v8 a - i8v8 b)) | 
 |  | 
 | cmpbytes bytewise cmpeq of i8v8 a and i8v8 b (not part of MVI extensions) | 
 |  | 
 | this has some good examples for other operations that can be synthesised well  | 
 | from these rather meager vector ops (such as saturating add). |
