Profiling results for overall audio decode and the mlp_filter_channel(_arm)
function in particular are as follows:

Experiments with adding preload instructions to this function yielded no
useful benefit, so these have not been included.
The assembly version has also been tested with a fuzz tester to ensure that
any combinations of inputs not exercised by my available test streams still
generate mathematically identical results to the C version.
