Balton discovered that asserts for the extract/deposit calls had a
significant impact on a lame benchmark on qemu-ppc. Replicating with:

   ./qemu-ppc64 ~/lsrc/tests/lame.git-svn/builds/ppc64/frontend/lame \
     -h pts-trondheim-3.wav pts-trondheim-3.mp3

showed up the pack/unpack routines not eliding the assert checks as it
should have done causing them to prominently figure in the profile:

After this patch the same test runs 31 seconds faster with a profile
where the generated code dominates more:
