In two pass encodes, the calculation of the number of bits
allocated to a KF group had the potential to overflow for high data
rates if the interval is very long.
We observed the problem in one test clip where there was one
section where there was an 8000 frame gap between key frames.

This replaces the approximate division-by-multiplication in the
quantizer with an exact one that costs just one add and one
shift extra.
The asm versions have not been updated in this patch, and thus
have been disabled, since the new method requires different
multipliers which are not compatible with the old method.

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.

In the case where the best reference mv is not (0,0) a secondary
search is carried out centered on (0,0). However, rather than
sending tmp_err into the search function, motion_error was
inadvertently passed.
As a result tmp_err remains set at INT_MAX and the (0,0)-based
search result will never be selected, even if it is better.

Following conversations with Tim T (Derf) I ran a large number of
tests comparing the existing polynomial expression with a simpler
^2 variant. Though the polynomial was sometimes a little better at
the extremes of Q it was possible to get close for most clips and
even a little better on some.
This code also changes the way the RD multiplier is calculated
when the ZBIN is extended to use a variant of the same ^2
expression.
I hope that this simpler expression will be easier to tune further
as we expand our test set and consider adjustments based on content.

Besides the slight improvement in round trip error. This
also fixes a sign bias in the forward transform, so the
round trip errors are evenly distributed between +1s and
-1s. The old bias seemed to work well with the dc sign bias
in old fdct, which no longer exist in the improved fdct.

bestsad needs to be a int and set to INT_MAX because at the end
of the function it is compared to INT_MAX to determine if there
was a match in the function.

bestsad should be an int initialized to INT_MAX. The optimized
SAD function expects a signed value for bestsad to use for comparison
and early loop termination. When no match is made, which is
determined by a comparison of bestsad to INT_MAX, INT_MAX is returned.
These are mostly vestigial, it's up to the compiler to decide what
should be inlined, and this collided with certain Windows platform SDKs.

1. Unavailability of each reference frame type should be tested
independently,
2. Also, only the VP8_GOLD_FLAG needs to be tested before setting
golden frame specific thresholds, and only VP8_ALT_FLAG needs
testing before setting thresholds relevant to the AltRef frame.

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.

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.

This patch addresses issue #79, which is a regression since commit
28de670 "Fix RD bug." If the coded error value is zero, the iiratio
calculation effectively multiplies by 1000000 by the
DOUBLE_DIVIDE_CHECK macro. This can result in a value larger than
INT_MAX, giving a negative ratio. Since the error values are
conceptually unsigned (though they're stored in a double) this patch
makes the iiratio values unsigned, which allows the clamping to work
as expected.
ssim.c comiles in a huge (512M) amount of global scratch space. Allocating
this data on the heap would be a better solution, but this file doesn't
need to be built at all in most cases, so as a first pass, disable it
except when doing opsnr.stt output (--enable-psnr).

The new scheme introduced in I68d35a2f did not clamp chroma MVs in the SPLITMV
case, and clamped them incorrectly (to the luma plane bounds) in every other
case.
Because chroma MVs are computed from the luma MVs before clamping occurs, they
could still point outside of the frame buffer and cause crashes.
This clamping happens outside of the MV prediction loop, and so should not
affect bitstream decoding.
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 patch adds support for building shared libraries when configured
with the --enable-shared switch.
Building DLLs would require more invasive changes to the sample
utilities than I want to make in this patch, since on Windows you can't
use the address of an imported symbol in a static initializer. The best
way to work around this is proably to build the codec interface mapping
table with an init() function, but dll support is of questionable value
anyway, since most windows users will probably use a media framework
lib like webmdshow, which links this library in staticly.

This patch creates some basic infrastructure for doing bitstream-
incompatible changes to the VP8 encoder. The key parts are:
- --enable-experimental configure switch, to enable support for this
incompatible bitstream. This switch is required to be set to enable
any "experiments"
- A list for "experiments" which translate into --enable-<experiment>
options and CONFIG_<experiment> macros.
- The high bit of the "Version" field is used to indicate that the
bitstream was produced by an experimental encoder. The decoder will
fail to decode an experimental bitstream without
--enable-experimental.
- A new "vp8x" encoder interface is created to set the experimental
bit.
- The vp8x encoder interface is made the default for ivfenc in
experimental mode.

This is to accommodate output packets for both compressed

Visual c++ compiler uses xmm registers for floating point
operations for 64 bit architecture, therefore its calling
convention requires the preservation of xmm6-xmm15 in any
function that have used these registers. However, the sse2
functions, that were originally written for 32 bit windows,
may have used xmm6 and xmm7 without preserving the content.
In this particular case, the compiler used xmm6 to save
the variable "two_pass_min_rate", the value of the variable
is mucked up by our sse2 optimized loop filter functions,
hence the results of release/debug mismatching.
