The SSE2 intrinsics will actually be compiled into VEX-prefixed (AVX)
instructions operating on xmm registers when -mavx2 is used.

I can't think of a reason the lack of a prefix would cause any
confusion for the ones that already have "128" in the name. For
unpack_565_to_8888, etc, maybe it would be best to add a _128 suffix.
We have functions (e.g., pack_565_2x128_128) that look like that
already.
