BTW since then I fixed md5crypt (I beat Bartavelle to it :) and Oracle11.

Net-md5 and net-sha1 are "half-thin" dynamic formats, so can be ignored.
The rest of the ones that fail on MIC probably has bugs that happened to
not surface on AVX2 (yet).
BTW one example of intermittant bug is if there's any align(16) still in
there - there's a chance such thing will happen to become aligned for
AVX2 but less chance for MIC. Those should result in segfault though, if
you only got a FAIL this is probably not it.
Also, I recall some formats had things like
#if SIMD_COEF_32 == 4
(...)
#else /* likely meaning MMX */
(...)
#endif
When possible, such things should be replaced by vector-agnostic code
(even if it means a for loop - it might become unrolled anyway). I think
I just added clauses in some cases, for now. And maybe I fixed some of
them for AVX2 only (I should have left #warning's for you but I'm not
sure I always did).
