Subject: Re: Formats using non-SIMD SHA2 implementations
> I might not have stated my problem clearly... I'll sum it up here: suppose I have a message of length (A + B) and I've already compute the hash of the first A bytes which is H(A); given only H(A) and the remaining B bytes of data, can I compute the hash of the entire message, i.e. H(A + B) ?

That's easy but unfortunately it's not portable (we're not guaranteed
the ctx struct internals, names differs among various libs). A better
alternative might be to simply use our SIMD function (with RELOAD like
you said) using just one lane.
