Nathan,
I checked the patch and it looks OK except a one issue.
I do not really like that we have new p5.emconf in codebase and propose the
following improvement:
1) add p5 pass to all Jitrino.OPT codegen aliases in every emconf we have.
(I can update the patch if agreed)
2) a. After the commit: Make it turned off by default and use additional
cmd-line -XX:jit.arg.codegen.p5=on when run on PC without SSE2
b. Start discussion: Use CPUID to detect if SSE2 is available and make
JIT turn this pass on automatically if needed.
We can implement CPUID check for SSE2 in JIT only (a couple of lines of
assembly for Linux and Windows)
The question is: would it be better if VM provides such service for every
client? E.g. cpuid_is_sse2_supported()-like methods.

Would anyone else like to review this patch? It's somewhat
significant. I've tested it on a P4/WinXP and DRLVM works without any
noticeable regressions. I've done some initial tests on a Quad
P3/Ubuntu and I can now run a simple Hello World with the default JIT,
which is a huge step.
If no one has any issues, I'm going to commit this patch.

Nathan Beyer commented on HARMONY-3246:
---------------------------------------
I've test this on a Linux P3 and it seems to work. I'm now able to run
a simple hello world. Additionally, everything seems to work as it did
on a P4/WinXP.
Let's see if we can get a few more people to review the code.
