Already done (well, something similar to what you mention above anyway), 
doesn't help (although doesn't hurt either, even though it doubles the 
number of adds needed to complete the same work).  This is the code I 
tested:

#define ADDL_64                                         \
         asm("xorq  %%r8,%%r8\n\t"                       \
             "xorq  %%r9,%%r9\n\t"                       \
             "xorq  %%r10,%%r10\n\t"                     \
             "xorq  %%r11,%%r11\n\t"                     \
             "movl  0*4(%[src]),%%r8d\n\t"               \
             "movl  1*4(%[src]),%%r9d\n\t"               \
             "movl  2*4(%[src]),%%r10d\n\t"              \
             "movl  3*4(%[src]),%%r11d\n\t"              \
             "addq  %%r8,%[res1]\n\t"                    \
             "addq  %%r9,%[res2]\n\t"                    \
