1. Algorithm modification:
Instead of having same filter threshold for a whole frame, now we
allow the thresholds to be adjusted for each macroblock. In current
implementation, to avoid excessive blur on background as reported
in issue480(http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=480), we
reduce the thresholds for skipped macroblocks.
2. SSE2 optimization:
As started in issue479(http://code.google.com/p/webm/issues/detail?id=479),
the filter calculation was adjusted for better performance. The c
code was also modified accordingly. This made the deblock filter
2x faster, and the decoder was 1.2x faster overall.
Next, the demacroblock filter will be modified similarly.

SAD returns unsigned values. Make all the declarations the same.
Remove bestsad initialization and check. It is always set to the
result of a SAD call so it will never remain UINT_MAX
Use ja instead of jg to test unsigned comparison instead of signed.
Update test.

This patch fixed issue 458 by calling copy function when both
offsets are 0, which guarantees the SSSE3 functions output
same result as the c function for all possible offsets.

Allows building the library with the gcc -pedantic option, for improved
portabilty. In particular, this commit removes usage of C99/C++ style
single-line comments and dynamic struct initializers. This is a
continuation of the work done in commit 97b766a46, which removed most
of these warnings for decode only builds.

Rework unit tests to have a single executable rather than many, which

Break MFQE code into it's own file.
It is currently only valid for 16x16 and 8x8 Y blocks. It also filters
4x4 U/V blocks.
Refactor filtering and add associated assembly. Limited test cases show
--mfqe introduces a penalty of ~20% with HD content. The assembly
reduces the penalty to ~15%

This is a proof of concept RTCD implementation to replace the current
system of nested includes, prototypes, INVOKE macros, etc. Currently
only the decoder specific functions are implemented in the new system.
Additional functions will be added in subsequent commits.
Overview:
RTCD "functions" are implemented as either a global function pointer
or a macro (when only one eligible specialization available).
Functions which have RTCD specializations are listed using a simple
DSL identifying the function's base name, its prototype, and the
architecture extensions that specializations are available for.
Advantages over the old system:
- No INVOKE macros. A call to an RTCD function looks like an ordinary
function call.
- No need to pass vtables around.
- If there is only one eligible function to call, the function is
called directly, rather than indirecting through a function pointer.
- Supports the notion of "required" extensions, so in combination with
the above, on x86_64 if the best function available is sse2 or lower
it will be called directly, since all x86_64 platforms implement
sse2.
- Elides all references to functions which will never be called, which
could reduce binary size. For example if sse2 is required and there
are both mmx and sse2 implementations of a certain function, the
code will have no link time references to the mmx code.
- Significantly easier to add a new function, just one file to edit.
Disadvantages:
- Requires global writable data (though this is not a new requirement)
- 1 new generated source file.

These functions are now used by the encoder.
This is WIP with the goal of creating a common idct/add for
the encoder and decoder. A boost of 1.8% was seen for
the HD rt test clip used.

to the dqcoeff or qcoeff buffer. The encoder would
populate the dc coeffs of the y blocks as a separate
stage (recon_dcblock) and the decoder would use a special
version of the idct. This change eliminates the extra copy
and reduces the code footprint.
[Tero] Added needed changes to armv6 and NEON assembly.

HD decode tests have shown a performance boost up to 1.5%,
depending on material.
Patch set 3: Fixed encoder crash.

Instead of using the predict buffer, the decoder now writes
the predictor into the recon buffer. For blocks with eob=0,
unnecessary idcts can be eliminated. This gave a performance
boost of ~1.8% for the HD clips used.
Tero: Added needed changes to ARM side and scheduled some
assembly code to prevent interlocks.
Patch Set 6: Merged (I1bcdca7a95aacc3a181b9faa6b10e3a71ee24df3)
into this commit because of similarities in the idct
functions.
Patch Set 7: EC bug fix.

The data processed by the loopfilter overlaps. At the block level, this
results in some redundant transforms. Grouping the filtering allows for
a single 16x16 transpose (and inversion) instead of three 16x8 transposes
(and three more inversions).
This implementation is x86_64 only. We retain the previous
implementation for x86.
Improvements are obviously material dependant, but it seems to be ~%1 in
tests here.

The data that the simple horizontal loopfilter reads is aligned, treat
it accordingly.
For the vertical, we only use the bottom 4 bytes, so don't read in 16
(and incur the penalty for unaligned access).
This shows a small improvement on older processors which have a
significant penalty for unaligned reads.
postproc_mmx.c is unused
