Presumably you mean pmaddubsw, but isn't it a problem that the weights
can go from 0 to 128 inclusive? That is, if one weight is 0, the other
is 128, which means it doesn't actually fit in seven bits. So unless I
am missing something, pmaddubsw can't be used without a test for 0.

Running the test suite on ppc64, ARM, x86-64 with various
implementations disabled revealed no problems for me.
