I did it again now for 7z-opencl, see 5d8a78c. The boost compared to
Dhiru's naive/RFC implementation was 65% and we're now 10-15% faster
than oclHashcat.

I compared the performance of the optimized SIMD code, my previous naive SIMD code and the scalar code. See the figures below. (Specs: AVX2, 8-HT)

Good stuff. I bet real-life boost is a lot better from the last
optimization. The test vectors (of only length 8, right?) just don't
show it.
