This, combined with clobbering the stack space prior to the call,
increases the chances of finding cases where 32 bit parameters
are erroneously treated as 64 bit.

The functions may not clean up properly after using MMX
registers. For the normal testing calls, the checkasm_checked_call
functions will do the cleanup (and check that functions that
should clean up do it as well), but when benchmarking functions
that don't clean up, we don't currently properly clean up at all.
This causes issues if a benchmarked function is followed by testing
of a function that is supposed to not clobber the MMX/FPU state but
doesn't touch it at all.

Use two separate functions, depending on whether VFP/NEON is available.
This is set to require armv5te - it uses blx, which is only available
since armv5t, but we don't have a separate configure item for that.
(It also uses ldrd, which requires armv5te, but this could be avoided
if necessary.)

Not every asm routine is expected clear the MMX state after returning.
It is however a requisite for testing floating point code in checkasm.
Annotate functions requiring cleanup with declare_func_emms() and issue
emms after the call. The remaining functions are checked for having a
cleared MMX state after return.
Now we no longer have to rely on function pointers intentionally
declared without specified argument types.
This makes it easier to support functions with floating point parameters
or return values as well as functions returning 64-bit values on 32-bit
architectures. It also avoids having to explicitly cast strides to
ptrdiff_t for example.

It provides the following features:
* verify correctness by comparing output to the C version.
* detect failure to save and restore clobbered callee-saved registers.
* detect 32-bit parameters being used as if they were 64-bit in x86-64
(the upper halves are not guaranteed to be zero - but in practice
they very often are, which makes those bugs hard to spot otherwise).
* easy benchmarking.
Compile by running 'make checkasm'.
Execute by running 'tests/checkasm/checkasm'.
Optional arguments are '--bench' to run benchmarks for all functions,
'--bench=<pattern>' to run benchmarks for all functions that starts with
<pattern>, and '<integer>' to seed the PRNG for reproducible results.
Contains unit tests for most h264pred functions to get started, more tests
can be added afterwards using those as a reference.
Loosely based on code from x264. Currently only supports x86 and x86-64,
but additional architectures shouldn't be too much of an obstacle to add.
Note that functions with floating point parameters or floating point
return values are not supported. Some compiler-specific features or
preprocessor hacks would likely be required to add support for that.
