Simple: you don't need a 8x8 transpose, you need a 2x2 transpose of 4x4 
blocks. So do only one vec_merge pass. Which will leave coefs in a 
different order within each vector than 2x2 transpose would, but satd 
doesn't care.

And whenever Holger is ready to publish his satd optimization, some of 
that will be relevant to altivec too.
