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.
