Unrolling the LOAD and BLEND loops improves performance by ~8% on x86_64
(tested on Broadwell Xeon) while not increasing code size too much.

This reduces code size substantially (on x86_64 with gcc-10 the size of
sha256_update() goes from 7593 bytes to 1952 bytes including the new
SHA256_K array), and on x86 is slightly faster than the full unroll

Without the barrier_data() inside memzero_explicit(), the compiler may
optimize away the state-clearing if it can tell that the state is not
used afterwards.

Hi, I think the definition of BOOT_PGT_SIZE in
arch/x86/include/asm/boot.h is insufficient, especially after
ca0e22d4f011 ("x86/boot/compressed/64: Always switch to own page table")
Currently, it allocates 6 pages if KASLR is disabled, and either 17 or
19 pages depending on X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP
() implementation, and considerably more (~20%) with a
bad one (eg the x86 purgatory currently uses a memset() coded in C).
