This works both ways. Smaller code reduces IC overhead and the risk of its own 
eviction or that of some other frequently used code.

Here, we would just add one `li` to the 8x cases, and a pair of `li` and `j` 
to the 2x and 4x cases (like we already do for Opus postfilter). Indeed, since 
this is assembler, we can enforce tail-call optimisation.

Since this is assembler, you can count on tail-call optimisation. This is 
really just one `li` and `j` added on the 2 and 4.

Not that I could measure the actual impact of either approaches.
