gcc seems allergic to movq in the context of mmx:

% cat movq.c
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <mmintrin.h>

__m64 x;
__m64 y;

uint64_t foo(__m64 m) {
  return _mm_cvtm64_si64(_mm_add_pi32(x, y));
}
% gcc -g -O3 -Wall -std=gnu99   -c -o movq.o movq.c
% objdump -dr movq.o

movq.o:     file format elf64-x86-64

Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000000000 <foo>:
   0:   48 8b 05 00 00 00 00    mov    0(%rip),%rax        # 7 <foo+0x7>
                        3: R_X86_64_PC32        x+0xfffffffffffffffc
   7:   48 89 44 24 f8          mov    %rax,0xfffffffffffffff8(%rsp)
   c:   0f 6f 44 24 f8          movq   0xfffffffffffffff8(%rsp),%mm0
  11:   0f fe 05 00 00 00 00    paddd  0(%rip),%mm0        # 18 <foo+0x18>
                        14: R_X86_64_PC32       y+0xfffffffffffffffc
  18:   0f 7f 44 24 f8          movq   %mm0,0xfffffffffffffff8(%rsp)
  1d:   48 8b 44 24 f8          mov    0xfffffffffffffff8(%rsp),%rax
  22:   c3                      retq

the load of x should use "movq m64,mm".  this is true in i386 targets as well.

the transfer of %mm0 to %rax has the option of "movq %mm0,%rax" on x86_64, but
should possibly be passed through memory depending on -mtune= settings:

for intel core2 always use movq directly between the registers, no matter which
direction.

for AMD k8 family 15 always pass through mem

for AMD k8 family 16+, for gpr->xmm/mmx pass through memory and for xmm/mmx ->
gpr always use movd/movq direct between the registers.
