We currently mostly do not empty the MMX state in our MMX
DSP functions; instead we only do so before code that might
be using x87 code. This is a violation of the System V i386 ABI
(and maybe of other ABIs, too):
"The CPU shall be in x87 mode upon entry to a function. Therefore,
every function that uses the MMX registers is required to issue an
emms or femms instruction after using MMX registers, before returning
or calling another function." (See 2.2.1 in [1])
This patch does not intend to change all these functions to abide
by the ABI; it only does so for ff_simple_idct_mmx, as this
function can by called by external users, because it is exported
via the avdct API. Without this, the following fragment will
assert (on x86_32, as ff_simple_idct_mmx is not used on x64):
int16_t __attribute__ ((aligned (16))) block[64];
AVDCT *dct = avcodec_dct_alloc();
dct->idct_algo = FF_IDCT_AUTO;
avcodec_dct_init(dct);
dct->idct(block);
av_assert0_fpu();

x64 always has MMX, MMXEXT, SSE and SSE2 and this means
that some functions for MMX, MMXEXT and 3dnow are always
overridden by other functions (unless one e.g. explicitly
disables SSE2) for x64. So given that the only systems that
benefit from these functions are truely ancient 32bit x86s
they are removed.
