      powerpc: Add VMX optimised xor for RAID5 · ef1313de
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      Add a VMX optimised xor, used primarily for RAID5. On a POWER7 blade
      this is a decent win:
      
         32regs    : 17932.800 MB/sec
         altivec   : 19724.800 MB/sec
      
      The bigger gain is when the same test is run in SMT4 mode, as it
      would if there was a lot of work going on:
      
         8regs     :  8377.600 MB/sec
         altivec   : 15801.600 MB/sec
      
      I tested this against an array created without the patch, and also
      verified it worked as expected on a little endian kernel.
