You could also try doing twice as much per iteration which might be
more efficient, especially in avx2 since it avoids cross-lane
shuffles. Applies to some other ones as well.

E.g. something like:

    pxor           m4, m4
    VBROADCASTI128 m5, [pw_128]

.loop:
    movu           m1, [topq + xq]
    movu           m3, [bottomq + xq]
    punpcklbw      m0, m1, m4
    punpckhbw      m1, m4
    punpcklbw      m2, m3, m4
    punpckhbw      m3, m4
    paddw          m0, m5
    paddw          m1, m5
    psubw          m0, m2
    psubw          m1, m3
    packuswb       m0, m1
    mova  [dstq + xq], m0
    add            xq, mmsize
    jl .loop

pavgb should probably be more efficient than unpacking to words. It
does round up so some bitflipping shenanigans might be required if you
want to round down.

E.g. something like:

    pcmpeqb        m2, m2

.loop:
    movu           m0, [topq + xq]
    movu           m1, [bottomq + xq]
    pxor           m0, m2
    pxor           m1, m2
    pavgb          m0, m1
    pxor           m0, m2
    mova  [dstq + xq], m0
    add            xq, mmsize
    jl .loop

(optionally combining movu+pxor into a 3-arg pxor with avx since
memory operands can be unaligned in VEX-encoded instructions).
