Indeed, the availability of these _mm_cvtss_si64 and _mm_cvtsd_si64
intrinsics apparently depend on the compiler, compiler version, architecture
and maybe more...
I guess that we need to ad a try-compile to see whether we may use them or
not. Another option would be to not use them and only implement the assembly
versions.

Just checked, I don't think that this is platform dependent. It really looks
like _mm_cvtss_si64 and _mm_cvtsd_si64 are only for x86_64, looking at
emmintrin.h from the intel compiler icc (they should know there own
processors), I see:
/*
* Support for 64-bit extension intrinsics
*/
#if defined(__x86_64) || defined(_M_X64)
extern __int64 __cdecl _mm_cvtsd_si64(__m128d a);
extern __int64 __cdecl _mm_cvttsd_si64(__m128d a);
extern __m128d __cdecl _mm_cvtsi64_sd(__m128d a, __int64 b);
extern __m128i __cdecl _mm_cvtsi64_si128(__int64 a);
extern __int64 __cdecl _mm_cvtsi128_si64(__m128i a);
extern void __cdecl _mm_stream_si64(__int64 *p, __int64 a);
#endif
