Hello,

And I do have a little asm question:

As I understand the documentation this instruction does nothing float
specific. But that would mean that movhps does exactly the same - but it
has a different opcode (one byte smaller!).
Can someone explain that to me? I guess it makes more sense to just use
movhps? Or should I avoid these completely and use a second packuswb
like the old code did? Or something completely different?
