I think another point against MMX checksum is that to implement it really
clean we should __cli() after SAVE_FPU and __sti() after RESTORE_FPU
otherwise if somebody will do a mistake using a `.' in a number used in a
irq handler or in a bottom half... ;-). If the checksum implementation
would be _very_ faster I will agree to use it against the possible mistake
though... ;-))).
