[Wang, Yipeng]
I have a question regarding this logic.
For the set_alg API, how about if user specify to use sse42 (not the 64bit version) algorithm on a em64 CPU, does it also warn "unsupported algorithm" and force user to use the x64 version?
It seems behaves differently than the current API definition.
