Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Implement optimised checksum routine
Apparently there exist certain workloads which rely heavily on software
checksumming, for which the generic do_csum() implementation becomes a
significant bottleneck. Therefore let's give arm64 its own optimised
version - for ease of maintenance this foregoes assembly or intrisics,
and is thus not actually arm64-specific, but does rely heavily on C
idioms that translate well to the A64 ISA and the typical load/store
capabilities of most ARMv8 CPU cores.
The resulting increase in checksum throughput scales nicely with buffer
size, tending towards 4x for a small in-order core (Cortex-A53), and up
to 6x or more for an aggressive big core (Ampere eMAG).

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: csum: Fix pathological zero-length calls
In validating the checksumming results of the new routine, I sadly
neglected to test its not-checksumming results. Thus it slipped through
that the one case where @buff is already dword-aligned and @len = 0
manages to defeat the tail-masking logic and behave as if @len = 8.
For a zero length it doesn't make much sense to deference @buff anyway,
so just add an early return (which has essentially zero impact on
performance).
