2016-06-21arm64: Implement optimised IP checksum helpersRobin Murphy
AArch64 is capable of 128-bit memory accesses without alignment restrictions, which makes it both possible and highly practical to slurp up a typical 20-byte IP header in just 2 loads. Implement our own version of ip_fast_checksum() to take advantage of that, resulting in considerably fewer instructions and memory accesses than the generic version. We can also get more optimal code generation for csum_fold() by defining it a slightly different way round from the generic version, so throw that into the mix too.
