The previous implementation targeted DTS Coherent Acoustics, which only
requires mdct_bits == 6. This relatively small size lent itself to
unrolling the loops a small number of times, and encoding offsets
calculated at assembly time within the load/store instructions of each
iteration.
In the more general case (codecs such as AAC and AC3) much larger arrays
are used - mdct_bits == [8, 9, 11]. The old method does not scale for
these cases, so more integer registers are used with non-unrolled versions
of the loops (and with some stack spillage). The postrotation filter loop
is still unrolled by a factor of 2 to permit the double-buffering of some
VFP registers to facilitate overlap of neighbouring iterations.
I benchmarked the result by measuring the number of gperftools samples
that hit anywhere in the AAC decoder (starting from aac_decode_frame())
or specifically in ff_imdct_half_c / ff_imdct_half_vfp, for the same
example AAC stream:

Move the GNU as check before the arch specific asm checks since the .dn
check requires gas compatible assembler.
Disable the VC-1 motion compensation NEON asm which is the only part
using that directive. The integrated assembler in the upcoming clang 3.5
does not support .dn/.qn without plans to change that. Too much effort
to implement it while it is rarely used.
