The patch only provides an SSE2 code path for that one SSE3 instruction
that was forced in the code, so it does not really help to get the code
compile for the the lowest spec i386 hardware supported by Debian. 

Providing a code path without any SSE could also be interesting if you
think of getting the code ported to other architectures (ARM, PowerPC,
...).  

Best, 
Gert
