i just posted math patches which would be nice to have in 2.28

there are two parts:
- the first does not change abi and provides new implementations
with significant performance improvements,
- the second changes abi by adding new symbol versions that don't
do SVID error handling and further improves performance a bit.

these require non-trivial amount of review and testing and i'd
like to extend the review period a bit before the freeze for
these too.  i think the first part has a good chance to get
into an acceptable state.  the second part is independent but
would be nice to get it in 2.28 too.

thoughts?
