Looks generally reasonable. Is it possible to factorize out the individual 
transforms (so that you'd e.g. invoke the same macro twice in the 8x8 and 
4x4 functions) without too much loss? The downshift which differs between 
thw two could either be left outside of the macro, or the downshift amount 
could be made a macro parameter.
