the ones being used are punpckldq and punpcklqdq, which are described here:
https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/punpcklbw:punpcklwd:punpckldq:punpcklqdq

NP 0F 62 /*r*1 PUNPCKLDQ *mm, mm/m32* A V/V MMX Interleave low-order 
doublewords from *mm* and *mm/m32* into *mm*.
 
the key being "interleave".  so out of 128 bits (4x 32-bits)... hey it's 
the 128-bit equivalent of PACK! :)  that's very funny.

i'm not seeing how MV.SWIZZLE would help, given that MV.SWIZZLE only takes 
one source register.
