Thanks.  Although (potentialy) all you need to do to support i386 is to make 
sure that TCG_TARGET_HAS_add_* are properly conditionalized on a runtime 
have_sse2 check.  There are other examples of how such runtime checks should be 
done.

(That said, I can imagine there might be other issues with respect to i64 vs 
v64 that might turn out to be complicated.  It wouldn't bother me if we 
restricted vector support to 64-bit hosts.)
