   My understanding ist that CMPBGE and ZAP(NOT), both SIMD-style   
   instructions, were already present in EV4.  The architecture   
   description  does   
   not say that some implementations don't include these instructons in   
   hardware, whereas for the Multimedia support instructions (Section   
   4.13), the reference does say that.
