h264: assembly version of get_cabac for x86_64 with PIC (v4)
This adds a hand-optimized assembly version for get_cabac much like the
existing one, but it works if the table offsets are RIP-relative.
Compared to the non-RIP-relative version this adds 2 lea instructions
and it needs one extra register.
There is a surprisingly large performance improvement over the c version (more
so than the generated assembly seems to suggest) just in get_cabac, I measured
roughly 40% faster for get_cabac on a K8. However, overall the difference is
not that big, I measured roughly 5% on a test clip on a K8 and a Core2.
Hopefully it still compiles on x86 32bit...
v2: incorporated feedback from Loren Merritt to avoid rip-relative movs
for every table, and got rid of unnecessary @GOTPCREL.
v3: apply similar fixes to the the decode_significance functions, and use
same macro arguments for non-pic case.
v4: prettify inline asm arguments, add a non-fast-cmov version (as I expect
the c code to be faster otherwise since both cmov and sbb suck hard on a
Prescott, even can't construct the mask with a 64bit shift as that's just as
terrible - it's quite difficult to find usable instructions on that chip...).
This is tested to work but not on a P4, in theory it _should_ be fast there.
