I have not the slightest interest in adding more hacks.  The code works
fine for the platforms so far supported.  If some new processor
implementation comes along which needs the code changed this has to
happen without effecting the existing code.  If the final solution
requires using the auxiliary vector values and therefore a memory load,
so be it.  But no going back to the generic code and no disabling the
benefits for supported implementations.
