-e is a non-standard echo option, echo output is
implementation-dependent when it is used. Replace echo -e with printf as
suggested by POSIX echo manual.

This change adds TILE-Gx SIMD instructions to the software raid
(md), modeling the Altivec implementation. This is only for Syndrome
generation; there is more that could be done to improve recovery,
as in the recent Intel SSE3 recovery implementation.
The code unrolls 8 times; this turns out to be the best on tilegx
hardware among the set 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16. The code reads one
cache-line of data from each disk, stores P and Q then goes to the
next cache-line.
The test code in sys/linux/lib/raid6/test reports 2008 MB/s data
read rate for syndrome generation using 18 disks (16 data and 2
parity). It was 1512 MB/s before this SIMD optimizations. This is
running on 1 core with all the data in cache.
This is based on the paper The Mathematics of RAID-6.
(http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hpa/raid6.pdf).

Rebased/reworked a patch contributed by Rob Herring that uses
NEON intrinsics to perform the RAID-6 syndrome calculations.
It uses the existing unroll.awk code to generate several
unrolled versions of which the best performing one is selected
at boot time.

sse and avx2 stuff only exist on x86 arch, and we don't need to build

Optimize RAID6 recovery functions to take advantage of
the 256-bit YMM integer instructions introduced in AVX2.
The patch was tested and benchmarked before submission.
However hardware is not yet released so benchmark numbers
cannot be reported.
