[mythtv] [patch] mythmusic compile problem

[Daniel Thor Kristjansson]

It's a bug. It just slips by gcc when the operand has spilled to memory
instead of being in an MMX register. Changing the "X" to an "m"
explicitly tells gcc that it must be in memory. It might be faster in
some cases to do a "movd X, r" instead of going to memory, but that is
something the person that maintains the code should do. You really have
to test to see if that is faster, since a mov to memory and back to a
register is faster when forwarding is working.
