You can't move a word to a mmx register directly. You have to
simulate it ie. with a temp ored with the destination register:

pxor %mm7,%mm7
xor  %eax,%eax

movw your_word,%ax

movd %eax,%mm7
por  %mm7,%mm0

which moves your_word to the lowest part of mm0 and you have
to be sure that low word of mm0 is zeroed before the operation.
Or you can:

movd %mm0,%eax
movw your_word,%ax
movd %eax,%mm0

etc. but i don't recomend this kind of coding. Keep your words
together and use movq.
