 I think that with your patch, get_bits_count() will never be negative and this
will creates issues with some decoders.
You may want to read the following thread
 "[PATCH] Checked get_bits.h functions to prevent overread" 
(libav-devel/ffmpeg-devel)
to see the associated discussions/arguments.

 I attached the version of a similar patch that I came up with after taking
thoses arguments into account. (I never created the configue part).

Subject: [PATCH] Prevent by default for overread in get_bits.h functions.

It can be disabled (at compilation time so without any performance loss)
for decoder that check for overreads by themselves by defining
UNCHECKED_BITSTREAM_READER before including get_bits.h

Checks for A32_BITSTREAM_READER are not yet implemented.
