nasm requires the instruction length (movd/movq) to match to its

we use 64bit registers in the assembly.

This code adjust the impact of the amount and speed of motion
on GF and KF boost.
Sections with lots of slow motion will tend to have a
somewhat bigger boost and sections with fast motion may
have less.
There is a knock on effect to the selection of the active
quantizer range.
This will likely require further tuning but helps with a couple
of particularly bad edge cases.

Loopfilter deltas are initialized to zero on keyframes in the decoder.
The values then persist from the previous frame unless an update bit
is set in the bitstream. This data is not included in the entropy
data saved by the 'refresh entropy' bit in the bitstream, so it is
effectively an additional contextual element beyond the 3 ref-frames
and the entropy data.
The encoder was treating this delta update bit as update-if-nonzero,
meaning that the value would be refreshed even if it hadn't changed,
and more significantly, if the correct value for the delta changed
to zero, the update wouldn't be sent, and the decoder would preserve
the last (presumably non-zero) value.
This patch updates the encoder to send an update only if the value
has changed from the previously transmitted value. It also forces the
value to be transmitted in error resilient mode, to account for lost
context in the event of lost frames.

Modified AltRef temporal filter to adapt filter length based
on macroblock coding modes selected during first-pass
encode.
Also added sub-pixel motion compensation to the AltRef
filter.
This patch avoids compiling some debugging code in onyx_if.c. The most
significant fix is to avoid generating code for vp8_write_yuv_frame,
which is never called. Some other code was removed by the dead code
elimination performed by the compiler, and this patch does it with the
preprocessor instead. There are advantages both ways.

vp8_get_compressed_data() was defeating logic in
encode_frame_to_datarate() that determined the reference buffers to
search and forcing all frames to be eligible to search. In cases
where buffers have identical contents, this is unnecessary extra
work.

ARFs were explicitly disabled except in lagged compress mode. New
ARF logic allows for the ARF buffer to hold an older golden frame,
which does not require lagged compress.

Moved partition_bmi and partition_count out of MB_MODE_INFO and
placed into MACROBLOCK. Also reduced the size of other members
of the MB_MODE_INFO struct. For 1080p, the memory was reduced
by 1,209,516 bytes. The decoder performance appeared to improve
by 3% for the clip used.
Note: The main goal for this change is to improve the decoder
performance. The encoder will be revisited at a later date for
further structure cleanup.

This patch changes a few numbers in the two constant arrays
for quantizer's zerobin and rounding factors, in general to
make the sum of the two factors for any Q to be 128. While
it might be beneficial to calibrate the two arrays for best
quantizer performance, it is not the purpose of this patch.
Normalizing the two arrays will enable quick optimization
of the current faster quantizer, i.e .zerobin check can be
removed.

Replace the exponential search for optimal rounding during
quantization with a linear Viterbi trellis and enable it
by default when using --best.
Right now this operates on top of the output of the adaptive
zero-bin quantizer in vp8_regular_quantize_b() and gives a small
gain.
It can be tested as a replacement for that quantizer by
enabling the call to vp8_strict_quantize_b(), which uses
normal rounding and no zero bin offset.
Ultimately, the quantizer will have to become a function of lambda
in order to take advantage of activity masking, since there is
limited ability to change the quantization factor itself.
However, currently vp8_strict_quantize_b() plus the trellis
quantizer (which is lambda-dependent) loses to
vp8_regular_quantize_b() alone (which is not) on my test clip.
Patch Set 3:
Fix an issue related to the cost evaluation of successor
states when a coefficient is reduced to zero. With this
issue fixed, now the trellis search almost exactly matches
the exponential search.
Patch Set 2:
Overall, the goal of this patch set is to make "trellis"
search to produce encodings that match the exponential
search version. There are three main differences between
Patch Set 2 and 1:
a. Patch set 1 did not properly account for the scale of
2nd order error, so patch set 2 disable it all together
for 2nd blocks.
b. Patch set 1 was not consistent on when to enable the
the quantization optimization. Patch set 2 restore the
condition to be consistent.
c. Patch set 1 checks quantized level L-1, and L for any
input coefficient was quantized to L. Patch set 2 limits
the candidate coefficient to those that were rounded up
to L. It is worth noting here that a strategy to check
L and L+1 for coefficients that were truncated down to L
might work.
(a and b get trellis quant to basically match the exponential
search on all mid/low rate encodings on cif set, without
a, b, trellis quant can hurt the psnr by 0.2 to .3db at
200kbps for some cif clips)
(c gets trellis quant to match the exponential search
to match at Q0 encoding, without c, trellis quant can be
1.5 to 2db lower for encodings with fixed Q at 0 on most
derf cif clips)

At the end of the decode, frame buffers were being copied.
The frames are not updated after the copy, they are just
for reference on later frames. This change allows multiple
references to the same frame buffer instead of copying it.
Changes needed to be made to the encoder to handle this. The
encoder is still doing frame buffer copies in similar places
where pointer reference could be done.

In two pass encodes, the calculation of the number of bits

This replaces the approximate division-by-multiplication in the

The asm versions have not been updated in this patch, and thus
have been disabled, since the new method requires different

Previously we had assumed that it was necessary to give a full frame's
bit allocation to the alt ref frame if it has been created through temporal
filtering. This is not the case. The active max quantizer control
insures that sufficient bits are allocated if needed and allocating a
full frame's worth of bits creates an excessive overhead for the ARF.
