yup, bsrdi and bsrsi aren't implemented (yet).  Please open a bug report about
this.  The unimplemented x86 builtins are those commented out in the file
x86/x86_builtins

Yes, inline assembly should work.

No, and I don't think it is possible to add any.  On the other hand
you can always add -DDRAGONEGG or something to your compilation flags
when you are using the plugin.

Ciao, Duncan.
