Macro Function for Shuffle Operations

Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions (Intel® SSE) provide a macro function to help create constants that describe shuffle operations. The macro takes four small integers (in the range of 0 to 3) and combines them into an 8-bit immediate value used by the SHUFPS instruction.
