Could we please leave all of the hooks for %qd in the code, but disable
the automatic check for it in configure.in and configure? If we run into
a case which requires it, then it will be trivial to re-enable it (or if
you like allow a manual override --enable-int8-qd). If we do not run
into such a case then we can remove the code later, simplifying things a
bit.
If we don't disable it for now, then we will never be able to discover
whether it is a required feature or not. Now is the time to do this
since int8 is a new feature. It won't work very well to try the same
tactic 6 months from now :)
Thanks.
