Subject: OpenMP patch/DES SSE key setup patch

Solar,

I decided to play around with the new DES/OpenMP patch on x86 (32bit)
architectures with SSE2.  A simple CFLAGS change of adding -msse2 will
get it to pass your compile checks.  After that though, the code fails
to actually run correctly.

a john -test outputs the following:

Benchmarking: Traditional DES [128/128 BS SSE2]... FAILED (get_hash[0](0))
Benchmarking: BSDI DES (x725) [128/128 BS SSE2]... FAILED (get_hash[0](0))

I'd attempt to debug what is going on, but I doubt I'd get much
success.  So instead, I'll just report that it does not work for build
linux-x86-sse2, on gcc version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5).

It would be nice if you could get it working on non-64bit machines, as
that would be handy for some of my work.  I realize that it probably
isn't a priority though.
