-Soundmodem 1200 baud AFSK using floating point
-CONFIG_SOUNDMODEM_AFSK1200_FP
-  This option enables floating point calculations to be used for the
-  AFSK1200 baud modem. The Intel Pentium is a perverted chip because
-  integer multiplications are, although easier to implement in silicon,
-  an order of magnitude slower than floating point calculations.
-  Enabling this option uses a highly optimized assembler routine for
-  correlations, modeled after the one published by Phil Karn, KA9Q.
-  This reduces the computing power needed on Intel Pentium chips to
-  about 50%. On the other hand, Pentium clones with faster integer
-  multiply and slower floating point multiply will probably take
-  longer with this option turned on. As a rule of thumb, enable it for
-  Intel Pentium and Pentium Pro processors, and disable it for
-  anything else.
-  I (sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch) am very interested in figures. If you are
-  willing to give me a feedback, please compile the driver once with
