Nope.

Today we don't support run time processor detection in any of the drivers. 
(Since none of our end users or developers want it -- they ask us for 
smaller/faster, and compile time overhead for multiple products isn't a 
problem)...

I'm not disagreeing that the ifdef uglyness should be worked on - but that is 
separate than run time detection.
