It eats two cache lines, so it would be better to have it in a dedicated
structure dynamically allocated.

It would be better for non-vectorized path, as it will avoid polluting
cache with useless data in its case. And it would be better for
vectorized path too, as when the DP will need to use it, it will use
exactly two cache lines instead of 3three.
