I'm still misunderstanding the math here.

Why multiplied by four, in this case? 8 * 16 / 4 is used in other cases.

Also, previously Radim wrote:

So I think my calculation is off in xmm_offset still?  Can we make use
of well-named variables, in place of these constants? Otherwise the math
is hard to follow.

Thanks for the code review!
