I saw the intel-intrinsics package, but unfortunately it stops at 
SEE3 and I need SSE4.2 for this.

How is this library working? Will LDC/LLVM detect the name and 
replace it with the right instructions? If so, could I just 
provide an empty _mm_crc32_u8 and it'd pick it up correctly?


Thanks guys!
