What surprises me is that they chose to release them under the SSE name. None of these are vector instructions. (Maybe they are long vectors?) Certainly Intel has introduced non-vector ISA additions in SSE before (FISTTP in SSE3) but that was one scalar instruction out of many vector instructions. They seem to have no vehicle other than SSE to introduce new ISA.
