[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 02/12] mips/float_dsp: replace assembly with C implementations

All improvements of the C code should be put in generic C code so all architectures
can benefit from them.

The purpose of this code was to create optimizations for specific architecture.
In this way optimizations for mips32r2 architecture are here even without tweaking
configure line and even for older compilers.

By putting these optimizations under HAVE_MIPS32R2 problem with building mips64 should
be resolved and this can be optimized for mips64 later if needed.
