Well, now I remember where I'd seen them:

coolcat:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo 
system type             : ONStor Cougar
processor               : 0
cpu model               : SiByte SB1 V0.3  FPU V0.3
BogoMIPS                : 398.33
wait instruction        : no
microsecond timers      : yes
tlb_entries             : 64
extra interrupt vector  : yes
hardware watchpoint     : yes
ASEs implemented        : mdmx mips3d
VCED exceptions         : not available
VCEI exceptions         : not available

coolcat:~# 


So apparently it has mdmx and mips3d extenstions.  Whatever those are.
But they might prove to be much faster than standard mips v4
instructions at computing checksum.

Cheers,
