they are already in x86: sse, mmx, etc.

unfortunately the tests can't be too generic because they depend
on the architecture having support for the SIMD type. say, you
can't test V4SI on an architecture that only provides 64bit SIMD
registers (V2SI).
i have some patches i'm polishing up to provide just that-- any
SIMD type (say V4SI) regardless of if the hardware supports it. this
will make it easier to write generic tests.
