FWIW, Poly1305 uses _a lot_ of multiplications.  I expect it to
perform poorly with SPARC V7 code.

In fact, UMAC from the previous default of aes128-ctr +
[email protected] already uses quite a lot of multiplications,
although fewer than Poly1305, and I suspect it underperforms with
SPARC V7.

People who find scp throughput very slow on sparc may want to
experiment with switching to aes128-ctr plus one of the
hmac-*[email protected] MACs.
