I'll change them. I just found that in vf_fspp.c, asm constants were
defined in all-uppercase.

I will fix it. I thought designated initializer is a GNU extension,
so there is no problem to use an extension here. However, I know now
that designated initializer has been included in C99, but this kind
of initializer is not.

I'll move it into every asm block.

Someone has reported that this broke the compilation on 32bit after
your reply. I've committed a fix to reduce the register usage here,
which should work.

Most normal videos have a width which is a multiple of 8, so this
check should not filter out most videos. However, I'd like to improve
this by the second method you mentioned, but it seems to require many
modifications, which may need a period of time to make.

I have tried to avoid uses of SSE4 instructions as much as possible,
and it is a fact that most instructions used here are introduced by
SSE2. But I still found that there are some necessary instructions
that I have no idea to replace by older instructions which are listed
as follow:
* pmulld, introduced by SSE4, multiples 4 dword integers in parallel,
  which is required because 0x102 * 0xFF + 0x80 > 0xFFFF
* phaddd, introduced by SSSE3, adds packed integers horizontally,
  which is used to compute the average opacity of 2 adjacent pixels.
If you have any idea to avoid using these instructions here, please
tell me and I will modify the code.
