i dont think requantizing the coefficients will work well with intra
prediction. But the layout is quite simple, you can just read it off
the code. luma is at 0, chroma plane 1 is at 256 and chroma plane 2
at 512
each is stored in double zig zag order for 16 blocks and zigzag
order for 4. The block coeffs are in raster scan order.
