+
+add crazy vector instructions (MVI):
+
+(MIN|MAX)(U|S)(B8|W4) min and max, signed and unsigned, byte and word
+PKWB, UNPKBW pack/unpack word to byte
+PKLB UNPKBL pack/unpack long to byte
+PERR pixel error (sum accross bytes of bytewise abs(i8v8 a - i8v8 b))
+
+cmpbytes bytewise cmpeq of i8v8 a and i8v8 b (not part of MVI extentions)
+
+this has some good examples for other operations that can be synthesised well 
+from these rather meager vector ops (such as saturating add).
