The problem I do things like sha512_round:
               
sha512_round(x[0]=big_endian(W[0]),a,b,d,e,f,g,h,bpc,0x428a2f98d728ae22);
sha512_round(x[1]=big_endian(W[1]),h,a,c,d,e,f,g,bpc,0x7137449123ef65cd);
sha512_round(x[2]=big_endian(W[2]),g,h,b,c,d,e,f,bpc,0xb5c0fbcfec4d3b2f);
sha512_round(x[3]=big_endian(W[3]),f,g,a,b,c,d,e,bpc,0xe9b5dba58189dbbc);
sha512_round(x[4]=big_endian(W[4]),e,f,h,a,b,c,d,bpc,0x3956c25bf348b538);

They use tons of registers. If GCC wastes registers, tons of time would waste
on stack push/load.

My implementation by GCC on x86_64 is slower than openssl's asm version
particularly due to this reason. GCC just pushes/stores too many values on the
stack.

OpenSSL does exactly what I do here.
