Well, we need to test each entry point.  One of the existing deficiencies 
of IFUNC testing (which would also apply to the CPU tests here) is that we 
don't test the different variants of libm functions for different 
processors - I don't think you need to address that in your patch.  (So 
make sure the SSE2 entry point is tested, but which function that testing 
calls may depend on the processor.)
