Of course you can write a filter for it, but I believe the right place
where to implement the scaling is within libswscale (and have it
automatically integrated into the scale filter).

Anyway some cleanup work is going on with libswscale, and possibly
ARM-optimization will be added (also check the libav-devel ML). If you
want to help with that would be much welcome, ask if you have specific
questions.
