I can't say for sure, but I assume the gte is used on all matrix
multiplication functions. To be honest there is little point using it
when you can look up values in a small table.

So if any matrix calcs are done, assume the gte is used.

I don't actually know much about what the gte can do - have the nice
guys at Sony got any useful info?
