With -O3, new asm gives about same speed as the C version with redundant
state setting removed. With -O2 it gives about 2% faster overall speed.

Timer results with default -O4:
420 dezicycles in get_cabac, 134149491 runs, 68237 skips

with -O2:
322 dezicycles in get_cabac, 67101846 runs, 7018 skips


The inlined versions with -O4 have extra instructions between rdtsc and
get_cabac asm. The C versions didn't have such differences in timer
results depending on -O2 / -O3.
