I ran the kunit tests on Ascalon, a RVA23 CPU, in emulation. The arch
optimised version showed significant improvements over the plain
version.

I didn't have time to investigate if the numbers made sense. As Andy
noted, the 'long' benchmark had a much higher ratio improvement than
the short and medium.
