Actually, it's just put_unweighted_pred that is now running using
known square sizes, so you've allowed the compiler to unroll these
specific functions and make their loop size known at compile time. I'd
wager SIMD functions would already apply a minimum unrolling whatever
the version, and these versions would help very little (saving one
register maybe?).

The square parameter does not seem to have any other benefit (ie dead
branches or simplified computations outside of the dsp functions), so
I'm unsure the benefit would remain.

Another point that is maybe irrelevant to you is that several
projects, e.g. openhevc, have substantially different dsp functions
now. You are essentially diverging from these, which probably reduces
the probability to get any SIMD versions for yours, and make it more
difficult to import the changes into libav.
