I think I'd like to merge the multi-block refactoring branch (refactor-poly1305) before your radix 2^44 code. But that breaks current power assembly, since that branch currently requires that any assembly code for poly1305 implements both functions. I see three options: 1. Implement multi-block radix 2^64 code for ppc. Might not be well spent time if it's going to be much slower than new radix 2^44? 2. Implement multi-block radix 2^64 in ppc assembly, but just as a loop around the single block function (so no speedup). 3. Arrange so that multiblock function is optional, so that some configurations can use assembly sinble-block function, and let the C multi-block function loop around it. What would you suggest?
