It looks like Jim lost a few lines when adding SIMD support. Fixed now.

How slow is NEON with unaligned scalar 32-bit? The raw formats' 
set_key() read the key (which may be unaligned) using 32-bit loads and 
places directly in the SIMD buffer. It might be a coincidence that 
MD4/MD5 happens to get aligned test vector keys and the others doesn't. 
Other than that I can't see what would be unaligned.
