We probably could 'create' a CTX version of the SSE. The problem is it will likely never be as fast as hand coded, since we have to properly interleave. Thus, we can not simply memcpy values, and use them 'as is'. Also, due to usually working with multiple candidates at the same time, and usually using the interleaved MMX_COEF buffer to later retrieve data, we would lose a lot, in a CTX type.
I am not exactly sure what you mean by "Could we add SSExxxUpdate() for intrinsics", other than trying to mimic a CTX type update.
