I can buy possibly not supporting old MMX regs, but AVX is important.

That said, MMX is a physical feature in the x86 architecture, and it's also not
the only architecture with 64bit vectors, so I'd prefer to not see the type
definition ignored outright. Ie. GDC can't implement a type that the language
refuses to define.

Perhaps just define the types and leave them unsupported in DMD so Iain can
hook them up on GDC, since it already does support them all, or can he already
do that easily with the code how it is now? I thought I saw some hardcoded
widths in there...
