[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/2] lavu/fixed_dsp: optimise R-V V fmul_reverse

["Rémi Denis-Courmont" <remi@remlab.net>]

Gathers are (unsurprisingly) a notable exception to the rule that R-V V
gets faster with larger group multipliers. So roll the function to speed
it up.

Before:
vector_fmul_reverse_fixed_c:       2840.7
vector_fmul_reverse_fixed_rvv_i32: 2430.2

After:
vector_fmul_reverse_fixed_c:       2841.0
vector_fmul_reverse_fixed_rvv_i32:  962.2

It might be possible to further optimise the function by moving the
reverse-subtract out of the loop and adding ad-hoc tail handling.
