Hi Gayatri,

as you already implemented the gen_syndrome() functions it should be a piece
of cake to add the xor_syndrome() ones. Only if these are implemented we can
make use of Read-Modify-Write operations if the kernel chooses an processor 
optimized algorithm. They are already in the SSE2 path but are still missing from 
the current AVX2 implementation.

It would give the final touch to the patches.

Best regards.
