The benchmarks were done with every patch up to this one applied, so yes, after the 
split. The file i used to bench went from ~36fps to ~46fps after this patch.
The C version must be pretty inefficient (That CMP macro inside the loop probably 
creates lots of branches). Or maybe GCC was dumb.

Ah, good to know it's constant now. Although until we add x86_32 versions of these 
functions it doesn't really bring any real benefit.
I'll update the prototype and assembly anyway.

For that matter, do .asm files have access to FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE? if at 
some point we change its value (For example, once AVX512 code starts being 
committed), then srcstride will be something else.
Probably not a problem since whenever that constant is updated in avcodec.h it 
can also be updated in hevc_sao.asm, but it would be nice not having to bother 
doing that.
