This is nice. This is for 1 instance of bcrypt per core per invocation,
right? I mean that there's no interleaving yet.
Can you try interleaving two instances, perhaps with C code initially?

I took a look, and surprisingly (besides the pieces of inline asm) I
noticed something unrelated: you seem to have inconsistent BF_binary
sizes between Epiphany and host sides. I thought you had addressed that
already? Maybe you forgot to commit? Also, your host side code only
checks 32 bits of the computed hash value, whereas you could check 64
bits just as easily (so you should).

Actually, when I briefly tested your older code revision a week ago or
so, it similarly got stuck somewhere before visibly starting to crack,
but I could not reproduce this (the next time it just worked).
So not a new issue, it seems.
