submitting an alternative clmul first in a way that doesn't work well with
our proposal. cltmadd can then later be submitted as a separate RFC as
SVP64 FFT support for clmul.

ack, makes sense.

ohh yargh, integer DCT/FFT maddsubs need designing as well,
that'll be fun as bitlevel accuracy is needed, ARM even divides
by 2 and rounds so as not to drop too many bits.
