Just looked back - all of the const vectors passed as first argument to
mulu have all their elements >= 32768. So the mask is unnecessary and
you can just implement mulu(a,b) = adds (b, muls (b, a));

The argument order is important here, muls is not commutative because
of the annoying VIS rounding. Using the wrong order loses a lot of
precision, I dont claim to understand why...
