Well, the only thing I can see is that you're not using an asm volatile. I'm
not sure what gcc will do with that code, since if you don't indicate
volatile it's free to move it around if it feels it can make an
optimization. That may be your problem. Also why I stuck to doing single
blocks of asm in quickdnr, mmx is already hand optimized, I want the
compiler to do as little as possible to it.

This revision seems to be much better, no spots, lines or other artifacts
visible.
