1) Add special case for len == 40 as that is the hottest value. The nets a ~8-9% latency improvement and a ~30% throughput improvement in the len == 40 case. 2) Use multiple accumulators in the 64-byte loop. This dramatically improves ILP and results in up to a 40% latency/throughput improvement (better for more iterations). Results from benchmarking on Icelake.

This seems to amount to be ~5% throughput and slightly less in terms of latency. Testing: Part of this change is a new kunit test. The tests check all alignment X length pairs in [0, 64) X [0, 512). There are three cases. 1) Precomputed random inputs/seed. The expected results where generated use the generic implementation (which is assumed to be non-buggy). 2) An input of all 1s. The goal of this test is to catch any case a carry is missing. 3) An input that never carries. The goal of this test si to catch any case of incorrectly carrying. More exhaustive tests that test all alignment X length pairs in [0, 8192) X [0, 8192] on random data are also available here: https://github.com/goldsteinn/csum-reproduction The reposity also has the code for reproducing the above benchmark numbers.
