Thanks, this set looked good, so I pushed it.

I amended the commits a bit, moving the added copyright line from 
checkasm/ac3dsp.c from patch 1 to 2, where that file actually gets 
extended.

Actually, after pushing, I realized another thing that can be done better 
in ff_ac3_sum_square_butterfly_float_neon - I'll send a patch for that.

FWIW, it's usually neater to include such numbers in the commit message, 
so it gets brought along into the final git history (to show the benefit 
we got from the optimization at the time), quoting only those functions 
that are added/modified in each patch. But I didn't amend in that in the 
commit messages this time, but you can keep it in mind for the future.

Anyway, thanks for the patches!
