x86 is moving away from reciprocal estimate code because recent hardware implements a real fdiv at about the same speed as reciprocal estimate+refinement. So x86 perf probably isn't that big of a concern, but it would be good to see the regression test diffs (use the auto-generation script to update those files).

I don't have a good sense of the accuracy gains/trade-offs from pulling the numerator into the estimate calc. Ping @scanon for better insight/data on that.
