Some ancient Pentium-M and Core 1 CPU:s had slow SSE units, and using MMX
was preferable. Nowadays many assembly functions in x264 completely lack MMX
implementations and falling back to C code will likely make things worse.

Some misconfigured virtualized systems could sometimes also trigger this code
path and cause assertions.
