Yes.

I've just tried, with and without mmap. I am getting similar speeds as
before (a sub-second difference one way or the other). mmap is still
slower than pre-loading (with -mem=0). That's for the 29M testcase;
maybe I should test on something more focused on wordlist performance.
BTW, that #if's handling of __MIC__ should probably be simplified - we
may write "!__MIC__" alongside "!__ALTIVEC__ && !__ARM_NEON__" rather
than inside the AVX-512 sub-expression.
