From x86inc:
> On AMD cpus <=K10, an ordinary ret is slow if it immediately follows either
> a branch or a branch target. So switch to a 2-byte form of ret in that case.
> We can automatically detect "follows a branch", but not a branch target.

x86inc can automatically determine whether to use REP_RET rather than
REP in most of these cases, so impact is minimal. Additionally, a few
REP_RETs were used unnecessary, despite the return being nowhere near a
branch.
The only CPUs affected were AMD K10s, made between 2007 and 2011, 16
years ago and 12 years ago, respectively.
In the future, everyone involved with x86inc should consider dropping
REP_RETs altogether.
The only systems which benefit from ff_rv34_idct_dc_add_mmx are truely
ancient 32bit x86s as all other systems use at least the SSE2 versions
(this includes all x64 cpus (which is why this code is restricted
to x86-32)).

yasm tolerates mismatch between movd/movq and source register size,
adjusting the instruction according to the register. nasm is more
strict.

Extract processing of intra 16x16 blocks from intra macroblock
processing.
Also implement a function performing inverse transform and block
reconstruction for DC-only blocks in 1 pass instead of 2.
When decoding coefficients, detect whether the block is DC-only, and take
advantage of this knowledge to perform DC-only inverse transform.
This is achieved by:
- first, changing the 108x4 element modulo_three_table into a 108 element
table (kind of base4), and accessing each value using mask and shifts.
- then, checking low bits for 0 (as they represent the presence of higher
frequency coefficients)
Also provide x86 SIMD code for the DC-only inverse transform.
