To access data at multiple fixed offsets from a base address, this
code uses a single "m" operand and code of the form "32%0", relying on
the memory operand instantiation having no displacement, giving a final
result of the form "32(%rax)". If the compiler uses a register and
displacement, e.g. "64(%rax)", the end result becomes "3264(%rax)",
which obviously does not work.
Replacing the "m" operands with "r" operands allows safe addition of a
displacement. In theory, multiple memory operands could use a shared
base register with different index registers, "(%rax,%rbx)", potentially
making more efficient use of registers. In the cases at hand, no such
sharing is possible since the addresses involved are entirely unrelated.
After this change, the code somewhat rudely accesses memory without
using a corresponding memory operand, which in some cases can lead to
unwanted "optimisations" of surrounding code. However, the original
code also accesses memory not covered by a memory operand, so this is
not adding any defect not already present. It is also hightly unlikely
that any such optimisations could be performed here since the memory
locations in questions are not accessed elsewhere in the same functions.
This fixes crashes with suncc.

Refactoring mmx2/mmxext YASM code with cpuflags will force renames.
So switching to a consistent naming scheme beforehand is sensible.
The name "mmxext" is more official and widespread and also the name
of the CPU flag, as reported e.g. by the Linux kernel.
Many functions have such a prefix, but do not actually use any
instructions or features from that set, thus giving the false
impression that swscale is highly optimized for a particular
system, whereas in reality it is not.
Keep only the plain C code in the main rgb2rgb.c and move the x86
specific optimizations to x86/rgb2rgb.c
Change the initialization pattern a little so some of it can be
factorized to behave more like dsputils.
