This is a blocker. We don't do copyright assignments for nettle (mostly
for historical reasons), and we definitely don't do any "contributor's
license agreement"-silliness. But I still need to know origin of the
code, preferable both who legally owns the copyright, and who actually
wrote it.

I think it makes sense to do something similar to --enable-arm-neon,
with the default being adapting to the environment. Not sure if
consulting /proc/cpuinfo is useful in this case, though, it may be
sufficient to just check what the compiler or assembler accepts.

Or if all known ppc64el processors support it, maybe use of the vector
instructions can be unconditional for that architecture.
