Summary:                    [patch] Blackfin optimizations in arith.h
Description: 
This is an optimization tweak for zaptel's arith.h.  The purpose of the
tweak is to improve the performance of zaptel conference mixer on the
Blackfin/uclinux platform.  This tweak should have no effect on any other
platforms.

The tweak replaces the ACSS and SCSS saturating add and subtract code with
a blackfin GCC builtin function that uses the Blackfin's internal
saturating add and subtract instructions.  This eliminates one or two
conditional branches for every sample added to the mix.

Where exactly is BFIN defined?

Maybe it would be safer to use CONFIG_BLACKFIN (assuming that this is
kernel code)?
