	/* approximate r ~ 1/sqrt(m) and s ~ sqrt(m) when m in [1,4)

	   initial estimate:
	   7bit table lookup (1bit exponent and 6bit significand).

	   iterative approximation:
	   using 2 goldschmidt iterations with 32bit int arithmetics
	   and a final iteration with 64bit int arithmetics.

	   details:

	   the relative error (e = r0 sqrt(m)-1) of a linear estimate
	   (r0 = a m + b) is |e| < 0.085955 ~ 0x1.6p-4 at best,
	   a table lookup is faster and needs one less iteration
	   6 bit lookup table (128b) gives |e| < 0x1.f9p-8
	   7 bit lookup table (256b) gives |e| < 0x1.fdp-9
	   for single and double prec 6bit is enough but for quad
	   prec 7bit is needed (or modified iterations). to avoid
	   one more iteration >=13bit table would be needed (16k).

	   a newton-raphson iteration for r is
	     w = r*r
	     u = 3 - m*w
	     r = r*u/2
	   can use a goldschmidt iteration for s at the end or
	     s = m*r

	   first goldschmidt iteration is
	     s = m*r
	     u = 3 - s*r
	     r = r*u/2
	     s = s*u/2
	   next goldschmidt iteration is
	     u = 3 - s*r
	     r = r*u/2
	     s = s*u/2
	   and at the end r is not computed only s.

	   they use the same amount of operations and converge at the
	   same quadratic rate, i.e. if
	     r1 sqrt(m) - 1 = e, then
	     r2 sqrt(m) - 1 = -3/2 e^2 - 1/2 e^3
	   the advantage of goldschmidt is that the mul for s and r
	   are independent (computed in parallel), however it is not
	   "self synchronizing": it only uses the input m in the
	   first iteration so rounding errors accumulate. at the end
	   or when switching to larger precision arithmetics rounding
	   errors dominate so the first iteration should be used.

	   the fixed point representations are
	     m: 2.30 r: 0.32, s: 2.30, d: 2.30, u: 2.30, three: 2.30
	   and after switching to 64 bit
	     m: 2.62 r: 0.64, s: 2.62, d: 2.62, u: 2.62, three: 2.62  */
