Right, you could do that, of course, but it still amounts to 256 code
paths that have to be generated, a framework to do them with (since gcc
doesn't generate SSE-2 code properly, for example), and then figure out
if it was all worth it at the end.
Given that the RAID-6 module is already quite large, I'm not so sure
it's a win.
