Series xor: enable auto-vectorization in Clang | expand

Commit Message

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.
