Hmm, can you elaborate on this bit? With only the first patch applied, the 
checkasm test still succeeds.

x4 and x6 should be w4/w6

Could we split this improvement for the existing codepath into a separate

x2/x4 should be w2/w4

This sequence has pretty tight dependencies on the earlier instructions - 
would it be worthwhile to do a version of this that does two rows at the 
same time? If it's not very important performance wise, then this probably 
is fine (not complicating things too much).

Other than that, looks good!
