How is it reasonable to implement different specialized version for
each generation of the core like it does with MMX and MMX2?

As we're investigated,

     wldrd wr2, [%1, #8]
     wldrd wr1, [%1], %2

is much better than

     wldrd wr1, [%1]
     wldrd wr2, [%1, #8]
     add %1, %1, %2

but the first version will work on PXA3xx cores only.

Moreover, WMMX2 adds some useful instructions - for example, WAVG4 may
be used to implement very fast pix_abs16_xy2 and pix_abs8_xy2 (which
will not work on PXA2xx cores).
