Modern compilers are perfectly capable of extracting parallelism from
the XOR routines, provided that the prototypes reflect the nature of the
input accurately, in particular, the fact that the input vectors are
expected not to overlap. This is not documented explicitly, but is
implied by the interchangeability of the various C routines, some of
which use temporary variables while others don't: this means that these
routines only behave identically for non-overlapping inputs.
So let's decorate these input vectors with the __restrict modifier,
which informs the compiler that there is no overlap. While at it, make
the input-only vectors pointer-to-const as well.

This is a NEON acceleration method that can improve
performance by approximately 20%. I got the following
data from the centos 7.5 on Huawei's HISI1616 chip:
[ 93.837726] xor: measuring software checksum speed
[ 93.874039] 8regs : 7123.200 MB/sec
[ 93.914038] 32regs : 7180.300 MB/sec
[ 93.954043] arm64_neon: 9856.000 MB/sec
[ 93.954047] xor: using function: arm64_neon (9856.000 MB/sec)
I believe this code can bring some optimization for
all arm64 platform. thanks for Ard Biesheuvel's suggestions.
