[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCHv4 2/4] lavc/flacdsp: optimise RVV vector type for lpc16

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

This calculates the optimal vector type value at run-time based on the
hardware vector length and the FLAC LPC prediction order. In this
particular case, the additional computation is easily amortised over
the loop iterations:

 # Power of two boundary.

With 128-bit vectors, improvements are expected for the first two
test cases only. For the other two, there is overhead but below noise.
Improvements should be better observable with prediction order of 8
and less, or on hardware with larger vector sizes.

The same optimisation strategy should be applicable to LPC32
(and work-in-progress LPC33), but is left as a future exercise.
