Is it actually correct to skip the runtime check on x86-64? I don't
think there is a guarantee that MMX will be supported forever. 

Also, is the optimization really worth it? It gets rid of one function
call at the expense of compile-time complexity leading to bugs like
this one.

The patch looks otherwise fine to me.
