a preference for memory load instructions over large code footprints
with embedded immediate variables.
On amd64 CPUs from 2007-2008 there is not a significant change, but
amd64 CPUs from 2009-2010 get roughly 10% more throughput with this
code; amd64 CPUs from 2011-2012 get roughly 15% more throughput; and
AMD64 CPUs from 2013-2015 get 20-25% more throughput. The Raspberry
Pi 2 increases its throughput by 6-8%.

Use the C99 'static' keyword to hint to the compiler IVs and output digest
sizes. The keyword informs the compiler of the minimum valid size for a given
array. Obviously not every pointer can be validated (i.e., the compiler can
produce false negative but not false positive reports).
No functional change. No ABI change.

my tests, it is faster ~20%, even on an old IXP425 533MHz it is ~45%
faster... This is partly due to loop unrolling, so the code size does
significantly increase... I do plan on committing a version that
rolls up the loops again for smaller code size for embedded systems
where size is more important than absolute performance (it'll save ~6k
code)...
The kernel implementation is now shared w/ userland's libcrypt and
libmd...
We drop support for sha256 from sha2.c, so now sha2.c only contains
sha384 and sha512...
