The "rm" basm constraint doesn't work with my version of gcc (4.5.2),
not even in a simple example. Since we usually only have 5 registers
available on i386, force it to be memory on that architecture.

This makes the volume tests run in two loops and print the minimum,
maximum and standard deviation of readings from the inner loop. This
makes it easier to reason out performance drops (i.e. algorithmic
problems vs. other system issues such as processor contention).
Somewhere in the history of the MMX tests, the number of channels was
changed from 1 to 2, but the number of samples was not increased to make
it even (multiple of the frame size).
In the assembly optimized versions of SSE, a noise could occur when the
number of channels were 3,5,6 or 7. For MMX and ARM, this could occur
when the number of channels were 3.

Tweak the constraints a little so that register starved 32bit systems
can select a stack variable for the channel paramter instead of reusing one of
the registers we're using in the code.
