Here is a page listing the ones I think still require work.

If there are no AVX instructions used for the SHA2 code, then they are not listed. XOP certainly is, but I think SSSE4.1 is the highest instruction set used for Intel only.

--with-icc-asm Use ICC pre-built asm files for intrisic SIMD code.
Default: no
```
But I do not know if the ones in bleeding are still functional or not. I have not built with them for a LONG time.
