These figures are the actual numbers!

Using the figures from Haswell above:
> ff_h264_idct_add_8_mmx  = 52 cycles
> ff_h264_idct_add_8_sse2 = 49 cycles
> ff_h264_idct_add_8_avx  = 46 cycles

Coming back to this draft I saved I removed a fair bit of ranting and
cut it down to the essential point.

Also, I forgot about the Pentium I tested previous patches on.  I added
SSE2.  From that commit message:
