Hmm, too bad, as its name implies, it is quite useful for Video :)
(Though it is missing byte/wordwise addition and subtraction
badly. Does anybody have an idea how to emulate this efficiently?) But
many of the improvements don't actually require it, and I've
conditionalized it with amask, so it should still show some speedup.
The BWX extension isn't quite as important, since I try to handle
quads in parallel.

BTW, does anybody know how to communicate the scheduling class of an
asm to gcc? For example, it groups all the perrs together, which is
hardly optimal :(
