GNU-Darwin gets AMD Opteron support

with Darwin-7.2. Testing with glxgears confirms that the MesaGL is
performing about twice as fast as on a comparable 32-bit CPU, although
some other tasks are clearly not yet optimized. The machines are
otherwise roughly identical. Here is a screenshot.

If anyone can think of other interesting benchmarks, be sure and let me
know while I have access to this Opteron machine. BTW,

rocks on
the thing.
