[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 4/4] avfilter/x86/scene_sad: add high bit depth AVX2/AVX512 version

From: Niklas Haas <git at haasn.dev>

Since psadbw only exists for 8-bits, we have to emulate it for 16-bit
inputs. The simplest sequence is to use a normal subtraction, which is safe
as long as the inputs do not exceed 32767 - so limit this implementation
to 15-bit inputs and below.

For 16-bit inputs, we could in theory instead use a pminw / pmaxw to ensure
the resulting difference does not overflow, but this is slower, and also
breaks the subsequent use of pmaddwd, so I opted to skip 16-bit SIMD for
now.
