The ARM version of the accelerated XOR routines are simply the 8-way C routines passed through the auto-vectorizer with SIMD codegen enabled. This used to require GCC version 4.6 at least, but given that 5.1 is now the baseline, this check is no longer necessary, and actually misidentifies Clang as GCC < 4.6 as Clang defines the GCC major/minor as well, but makes no attempt at doing this in a way that conveys feature parity with a certain version of GCC (which would not be a great idea in the first place). So let's drop the version check, and make the auto-vectorize pragma (which is based on a GCC-specific command line option) GCC-only. Since Clang performs SIMD auto-vectorization by default at -O2, no pragma is necessary here.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
