Quick benchmark

Please don't mind the C++, the actual function is clean C.  Be sure to comp=
ile
with -mavx2.

It's worth noting that the code that's integrated into ZFS On Linux appears=
 to
do benchmark code to select the fastest function and dynamically reassigns a
function pointer to that function (at maybe module load time?).  Adding the
extra layer of function pointers will probably be somewhat necessary for th=
is
kind of modularity, though this obviously has some security implications (in
that corrupting this pointer value can lead to bad things).  I hardly think
it'd be the first function pointer dispatched in the FreeBSD kernel, though.

Given that IXSystems cares about ZFS performance and distributes on hardware
with some lower powered Atom CPUs, I figured this would be of interest.
