>> Arm ISA v8.2A and v9.0A include SHA3 feature extensions and one of those SHA3 instructions - "eor3" performs an exclusive OR of three vectors. This is helpful in applications that have multiple, consecutive "eor" operations which can be reduced by clubbing them into fewer operations using the "eor3" instruction. For example -

Similar gains can be observed with the SVE2 "eor3" version as well since the "eor3" instruction is unpredicated and the machine under test uses a maximum vector width of 128 bits which makes the SVE2 code generation very similar to the one with Neon.

Thank you for all the reviews.
