This is the first patch to add superblock (32x32) coding
order capabilities. It does not yet do any mode selection
at the SB level, that will follow in a further patch.
This patch encodes rows of SBs rather than
MBs, each SB contains 2x2 MBs.
Two intra prediction modes have been disabled since they
require reconstructed data for the above-right MB which
may not have been encoded yet (e.g. for the bottom right
MB in each SB).
Results on the one test clip I have tried (720p GIPS clip)
suggest that it is somewhere around 0.2dB worse than the
baseline version, so there may be bugs.
It has been tested with no experiments enabled and with
the following 3 experiments enabled:
--enable-enhanced_interp
--enable-high_precision_mv
--enable-sixteenth_subpel_uv
in each case the decode buffer matches the recon buffer
(using "cmp" to compare the dumped/decoded frames).
Note: Testing these experiments individually created
errors.
Some problems were found with other experiments but it
is unclear what state these experiments are in:
--enable-comp_intra_pred
--enable-newentropy
--enable-uvintra
This code has not been extensively tested yet, so there
is every likelihood that further bugs remain. I also
intend to do some code cleanup & refactoring in tandem
with the next patch that adds the 32x32 modes.

This is the first patch for refactoring of the code related to
high-precision mv, so that 1/4 and 1/8 pel motion vectors can
co-exist in the same bit-stream by use of a frame level flag.
The current patch works fine for only use of 1/4th and
only use of 1/8th pel mv, but there are some issues with the
mode switching in between. Subsequent patches on this change Id
will fix the remaining issues.
Patch 2: Adds fixes to make sure that multiple mv precisions can
co-exist in the bit-stream. Frame level switching has been tested
to work correctly.
Patch 3: Fixes lines exceeding 80 char
Patch 4:

Results on derf after ssse3 bugfix, compared to everything
enabled but the 8-tap, 1/8-subpel and 1/16-subpel uv. Overall the
gains are about 3% now. Hopefully there are no more bugs lingering.
Apparently the sse3 bug affected the quartel subpel results more than
the eighth pel ones (which is understandabale because one bad predictor
due to the bug, matters less if there are a lot more subpel options
available as in the 1/8 subpel case).
The results in the 4th column correspond to the current settings.
The first two columns correspond to two settings of adaptive switching
of the 1/4 or 1/8 subpel mode based on initial Q estimate. These
do not work as good as just using 1/8 all the time yet.

This commit merges the NEWNEAR experiment such that it
is effectively always on.
The fact that there were changes in the threading code again
highlights the need to strip out such features during the
bitstream development phase as trying to maintain this code
(especially as it is not being tested) slows the development cycle.

vp8_mode_contexts[] is an entropy table used to code inter mode
choices. It was a fixed constant table. This commit made the entropy
context adaptive. Tests on derf set showed very good consistent gains
on all metrics: avg psnr .47%, overall psnr .46% and ssim .40%.

This is an experiment to include a mv contribution from last frame to
nearest and near mv definition. Initial test showed some small though
consistent gain.
latest patch slightly better result ~.13%-~.18%.
TODO: the entropy used to encode the mode choice, i.e. the mv counts
based conditional distribution of modes should be re-collected to
reflect this change, it is expected that there is some further gain
from that.

Patch 1 to Patch 3 is an initial implementation of 8x8 intra prediction
modes, here are with the following assumptions:
a. 8x8 has 4 prediction modes DC, H, V and TM
b. UV 4x4 block use the same mode as corresponding 8x8 area
c. i8x8 modes are enabled for key frame only for now
Patch 4:
d. removed debug code from previous patches
Patch 5:
e. added stats code to collect entropy stats and further cleaned up
Patch 6:
f. changed mode stats code to collect finer stats of modes
Patch 7:
g. normalized i8x8 modes distribution to total at 256 (8bits).
Patch 8:
h. fixed a bug in decoder and removed debug printf output.
Patch 9:
i. more cleanups to address paul's comment
Patch 10:
j. messy rebase/merges to bring the commit up to date.
Tests on HD clips encoded with all key frame showing consistent gain
on all clips and all metrics:~0.5%(psnr) and 0.6%(ssim):

Declared the bmi in MODE_INFO as a union instead of B_MODE_INFO.
This reduced the memory footprint by 518,400 bytes for 1080
resolutions. The decoder performance improved by ~4% for the
clip used and the encoder showed very small improvements. (0.5%)
This reduction was first mentioned to me by John K. and in a
later discussion by Yaowu.
This is WIP.

The compiler produces better assembly when using int_mv
for assignments. The compiler shifts and ors the two 16bit
values when assigning MV.

A large number of functions were defined with external linkage, even
though they were only used from within one file. This patch changes
their linkage to static and removes the vp8_ prefix from their names,
which should make it more obvious to the reader that the function is
contained within the current translation unit. Functions that were
not referenced were removed.
These symbols were identified by:
$ nm -A libvpx.a | sort -k3 | uniq -c -f2 | grep ' [A-Z] ' \
| sort | grep '^ *1 '

This eliminates a large set of warnings exposed by the Mozilla build
system (Use of C++ comments in ISO C90 source, commas at the end of
enum lists, a couple incomplete initializers, and signed/unsigned
comparisons).
It also eliminates many (but not all) of the warnings expose by newer
GCC versions and _FORTIFY_SOURCE (e.g., calling fread and fwrite
without checking the return values).
There are a few spurious warnings left on my system:
../vp8/encoder/encodemb.c:274:9: warning: 'sz' may be used
uninitialized in this function
gcc seems to be unable to figure out that the value shortcut doesn't
change between the two if blocks that test it here.
../vp8/encoder/onyx_if.c:5314:5: warning: comparison of unsigned
expression >= 0 is always true
../vp8/encoder/onyx_if.c:5319:5: warning: comparison of unsigned
expression >= 0 is always true
This is true, so far as it goes, but it's comparing against an enum, and the C
standard does not mandate that enums be unsigned, so the checks can't be
removed.

When the license headers were updated, they accidentally contained
