Re: [PATCH 1/14] [x86_64] Vector math functions (vector cos)

Is this update ok?

I also would like to add wiki page (with content mostly based on
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/libm#Addition_of_x86_64_vector_math_functions_to_Glibc)
to 5.4. Internals Documentation at
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki#Development and add according link
to NEWS.
