Let me see if I can win that back :-)

Re-ordering the W loads closer to first use seems to help gcc allocate the
registers a bit. I'm not 100% happy with the code it generates, but it looks
a little better. I think I can also nudge up the number of crypts with the
cmp_one changes.

On my linux-x86-native (xeon) machine, before:

$ ../run/john --test=30 --format=raw-sha1-ng
Benchmarking: Raw SHA-1 (pwlen <= 15) [128/128 SSE4.1 intrinsics 4x]... DONE
Raw:	12730K c/s real, 12803K c/s virtual

after:

$ ../run/john --test=30 --format=raw-sha1-ng
Benchmarking: Raw SHA-1 (pwlen <= 15) [128/128 SSE4.1 intrinsics 4x]... DONE
Raw:	13103K c/s real, 13160K c/s virtual

Please verify you get similar improvement, because I havn't tried it on x64.

Push request sent.

Tavis.
