To accelerate zip and ODF formats, a more general PBKDF2-SHA1 kernel
is needed (passwords of length 20, salt size 20 and output length 66).

Your code also works on CPU with no problems. Hence I picked your code
to start with and will stick with it. It can be made faster later on.
It is already 5x faster than my kernel!

Start already ;)
