Absolutely (and plus 8 more xmmregs for x86-64!). But I found
MMX->SSE2 quite tricky (especially for ffmpeg with so complex
algorithm and so many macro definitions) and I'm lazy:-(

I've considered that; but to achieve best performance I made the
function body of the SSSE3 version a little bit different than the
MMX2 version.
