Here is the previous review comment for the assembly function wrapper:

Do you mean that we need the wrapper functions back for both SHA-* and SM3?
If yes, we also don't need to check the state offset like:
	BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(struct sha256_state, state) != 0);

Could we just use the `SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START` in asm directly without the
wrappers?
