> This enhancement makes a change to the ChaCha20 block function intrinsic on aarch64, moving away from the block parallel implementation and to the quarter-round parallel implementation that was done on x86_64.  Assembly language profiling yielded an 11% improvement in throughput.  When put together as an intrinsic and hooked into the JCE ChaCha20 cipher, the gains are more modest, somewhere in the 2-4% range depending on job size, but still an improvement.
