That is not true.. the ones that I believe are relevant here  always
points to mvc or
me16x8 or me8x16 in an x264_mb_analysis_list_t.  However they do not have an
even number of ints or pointers before them in the struct.

Mauricio please try the attached patch.  It makes the accesses with
the uint64_t*
casts aligned to 8 rather than just 4.

Håkan
