After careful measurements and looking at asm code I figured out that there
was no penalty for using 2D array. That allowed me to go back to the
original form.

By changing the syntax a little so that the assignment is done down below
the 4 byte and 8 byte algorithms can share DO_CRC4.

This really shows how close the two algorithms are.
