Not KNI, I don't think, but 1.2.4 did add support for 3dnow!, with
auto-detection of CPU type. Disabled by default, but available. Are there

Always uses threads, can use 3dnow!, DGA and realtime priority. Can also
do direct hardware access to some graphics cards (inc SB16), but I haven't
looked at that one closely.
