It is very easy to factorize it if we are willing to ignore some style issues
i mean one always can split and use
#include "h264dec_mb.c"
#include "h264dec_block.c"
#include "h264dec_directmode.c"

this would sidestep any possible issues with inining from hard spliting in
seperate .o files and it always could later be changed to a real split where
possible
