This just wastes cache for no reason. A tiny amount, sure, but minor
things tends to add up eventually.

128-bit broadcasts are the same speed as 256-bit loads on Intel CPU:s
and twice as fast as 256-bit loads on AMD CPU:s.

A better solution if you want to avoid ifdeffery would be to create a
macro that uses vbroadcasti128 when mmsize == 32 and mova otherwise.
