 For example, _mm_shuffle_ps(a,a,_MM_SHUFFLE(i,i,i,i)) copies the float
 a[i] into all 4 output floats.

+assuming a vector of 4x4 matrixes is stored as 4 separate vectors with subvl=4 in struct-of-array-of-struct form (the form I've been planning on using):
+using standard (4+4) -> 4 swizzle instructions with 2 input vectors with subvl=4 and 1 output vector with subvl, a vectorized matrix transpose operation can be done in 2 steps with 4 instructions per step to give 8 instructions in total:

+input:
+| m00 m10 m20 m30 |
+| m01 m11 m21 m31 |
+| m02 m12 m22 m32 |
+| m03 m13 m23 m33 |

+transpose 4 corner 2x2 matrices
