The idct32x32 function actually pushed q4-q7 onto the stack even
though it didn't clobber them; there are plenty of registers that
can be used to allow keeping all the idct coefficients in registers
without having to reload different subsets of them at different
stages in the transform.
Since the idct16 core transform avoids clobbering q4-q7 (but clobbers
q2-q3 instead, to avoid needing to back up and restore q4-q7 at all
in the idct16 function), and the lanewise vmul needs a register in
the q0-q3 range, we move the stored coefficients from q2-q3 into q4-q5
while doing idct16.
While keeping these coefficients in registers, we still can skip pushing
q7.
