Jeff Muizelaar posted some changes to the idct/reconstruction c code.
This is the equivalent update for the arm assembly.
This shows a good boost on v6, and a minor boost on neon.
Here are some numbers for highway in qcif, 2641 frames:
HEAD neon: ~161 fps
new neon: ~162 fps
HEAD v6: ~102 fps
new v6: ~106 fps
The following functions have been updated for armv6 and neon:
vp8_dc_only_idct_add
vp8_dequant_idct_add
vp8_dequant_dc_idct_add
Conflicts:
vp8/decoder/arm/armv6/dequantdcidct_v6.asm
vp8/decoder/arm/armv6/dequantidct_v6.asm
Resolved by removing these files. When I rewrote the functions, I also
moved the files to dequant_dc_idct_v6.asm/dequant_idct_v6.asm

This moves the prediction step before the idct and combines the idct and
reconstruction steps into a single step. Combining them seems to give an
overall decoder performance improvement of about 1%.

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.

Restructured and rewrote SSE2 loopfilter functions. Combined u and
v into one function to take advantage of SSE2 128-bit registers.
Tests on test clips showed a 4% decoder performance improvement on
Linux desktop.

If the version script produced by the libvpx build system is not
used when linking a shared library on x86-64 Linux, the constant
data in the subpel filters produces R_X86_64_32 relocation errors
due to the use of wrt rip addressing instead of
wrt rip wrt ..gotpcrel.
Instead of adding a new macro for this addressing mode, this patch
sets the ELF visibility of these symbols to "hidden", which
allows wrt rip addressing to work without a text relocation.
This allows building a shared library without using the provided
build system or a separate version script.

When the license headers were updated, they accidentally contained
trailing whitespace, so unfortunately we have to touch all the files
again.

Change bitreading functions to use a larger window which is refilled less
often.
This makes it cheap enough to do bounds checking each time the window is
refilled, which avoids the need to copy the input into a large circular
buffer.
This uses less memory and speeds up the total decode time by 1.6% on an ARM11,
2.8% on a Cortex A8, and 2.2% on x86-32, but less than 1% on x86-64.
Inlining vp8dx_bool_decoder_fill() has a big penalty on x86-32, as does moving
the refill loop to the front of vp8dx_decode_bool().
However, having the refill loop between computation of the split values and
the branch in vp8_decode_mb_tokens() is a big win on ARM (presumably due to
memory latency and code size: refilling after normalization duplicates the
code in the DECODE_AND_BRANCH_IF_ZERO and DECODE_AND_LOOP_IF_ZERO cases.
Unfortunately, refilling at the end of vp8dx_bool_decoder_fill() and at the
beginning of each decode step in vp8_decode_mb_tokens() means the latter
requires an extra refill at the end.
Platform-specific versions could avoid the problem, but would require most of
detokenize.c to be duplicated.

Restructure vp8_sixtap_predict functions to eliminate extra 5-line
calculation while doing first-pass only. Also, combline functions
to eliminate usage of intermediate buffer. This gives decoder a 3%
performance gain on my test clips.

This patch removes the secondary MV clamping from the MV decoder. This
behavior was consistent with limits placed on non-split MVs by the
reference encoder, but was inconsistent with the MVs generated in the
split case.
The purpose of this secondary clamping was only to prevent crashes on
invalid data. It was not intended to be a behaviour an encoder could or
should rely on. Instead of doing additional clamping in a way that
changes the entropy context, the secondary clamp is removed and the
border handling is made implmentation specific. With respect to the
spec, the border is treated as essentially infinite, limited only by
the clamping performed on the near/nearest reference and the maximum
encodable magnitude of the residual MV.
This does not affect any currently produced streams.

This renames the vpx_codec/ directory to vpx/, to allow applications
to more consistently reference these includes with the vpx/ prefix.
This allows the includes to be installed in /usr/local/include/vpx
rather than polluting the system includes directory with an
excessive number of includes.

This doesn't play well with autotools, and the preprocessor magic is
confusing and unhelpful in the vp8-only context.
