Thanks.

Could I trouble you to run 'checkpatch.pl' and fix up some of the more
reasonable complaints?

ERROR: open brace '{' following function declarations go on the next line
#243: FILE: lib/raid6/recov_ssse3.c:28:
+	static const u8 __attribute__((aligned(16))) x0f[16] = {

is clearly bogus, but 

WARNING: __aligned(size) is preferred over __attribute__((aligned(size)))
#243: FILE: lib/raid6/recov_ssse3.c:28:
+	static const u8 __attribute__((aligned(16))) x0f[16] = {

is probably worth considering, as are some others.
