[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] x86/intreadwrite: use intrinsics instead of inline asm for AV_ZERO128

When called inside a loop, the inline asm version results in one pxor
unnecessarely emitted per iteration, as the contents of the __asm__() block are
opaque to the compiler's instruction scheduler.
This is not the case with intrinsics, where pxor will be emitted once with any
half decent compiler.

The code can be adapted to also work with MSVC, but for now, it will work with
the same compilers previously supported (GCC, Clang, etc).
