It would be nice if you inlined patches for easier reviewing. :)

I'm spotting an overflow that could be triggered with 64 single-byte unaligned
buffers, maybe this is better:
+ while (vlc->valid_bits < 32) {
+ uint32_t value;
+ if (vlc->data >= vlc->end) {
+ if (vlc->num_inputs) {
+ vl_vlc_next_input(vlc);
+ continue;
+ } else
+ return;
+ }
+ value = *(const uint32_t*)vlc->data;
+ vlc->data += 4;
#ifndef PIPE_ARCH_BIG_ENDIAN
value = util_bswap32(value);
#endif
+ vlc->buffer |= (uint64_t)value << (32 - vlc->valid_bits);
+ vlc->valid_bits += 32;
+ if (vlc->data > vlc->end) {
....
With all the pointer math, maybe change the type for 'end' and 'data' to
uint8_t? Then you would only need that single cast in fillbits (which
I did above) and you can kill all the casts everywhere.
