[LLVMdev] [PATCH] Detect Haswell subarchitecture (i.e. using -march=native)

I suspect it was also incompetence on my part. Given the differences
I'm seeing now I can't believe there'd be *no* difference in my tests
if I'd done them properly.

Anyway, thanks very much for the information. Hopefully that'll let me
track things down.

Would you mind me taking a day or so to investigate what's going on
here properly? Introducing a volatile to work around a bug in Clang
itself just seems perverse to me. (And we shouldn't let a CodeGen bug
dictate how we implement our functions either).

I promise I'll do the review of your code after that.

Cheers.

Tim.
