I've already tested 64-bit write-combining in x264 (and such write
combining is also used in other places in h264.c in ffmpeg); gcc does
not pessimize it.

Interesting--I will have to do more benchmarks since I'm reverting
Loren here ;)  Its possible the dc_add may be more useful for some MB
types than for others.
