I couldn't spot any difference - I used it just on principle, for the
lower gate count :-)

Those files also need a general clean-up. They are hard to follow. I
don't want to mess too much with them since Sayantan "owns" them but
they contain large sections of commented-out stuff, CPU-specific stuff
and so on.

Right - actually I did not expect any boost, I just did it because I
could. But I'm puzzled by the md5crypt regression, and the SHA-1 problem
(fails self-test). Perhaps the latter should be reported to nvidia, I
think they would actually look into it.
