I would quite like to see this series picked up for v2.20. If we want
to minimize performance regressions with the SHA-256 work, I think it's
important.
Applying the following patch on top of this series causes gcc to inline
both branches, which is pretty much the best we can expect. I haven't
benchmarked it, though, so I can't say what the actual performance
consequence is.
As for this series itself, other than the typos people have pointed out,
it looks good to me.
