The implementation was validated with OpenSSL and with the test vectors in
https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/blob/master/crates/core_arch/src/x86/sha.rs.
The instructions provide a ~25% improvement on hashing a 64 MiB file:
runtime goes down from 1.8 seconds to 1.4 seconds; instruction count on
the host goes down from 5.8 billion to 4.8 billion with slightly better
IPC too. Good job Intel. ;)
