That support is there. It turns out I did the CPU test above on just one
core but the figures are still not plausible.

I now modified the formats with an actual test vector with 391939
rounds, so we see that they are doing it right. This also give me
correct c/s figures directly (I had to recalculate the ones above as
discussed on john-dev). For some reason, CUDA now took forever so I
modified the self-tests to only do one test instead of a subset of
max_keys_per_crypt (I hardcoded max=1). New figures:

Benchmarking: crypt SHA-512 (rounds=391939) [OpenSSL 64/64]... (8xOMP) DONE
Raw:    26.3 c/s real, 3.3 c/s virtual

Benchmarking: cryptsha512-cuda (rounds=391939) [SHA512-based CRYPT]... DONE
Raw:    49.7 c/s real, 49.7 c/s virtual

(we might be able to bump the CUDA figure but I don't have time for
that. Ideally CUDA formats should auto tune like the OpenCL formats do)

Using device 0: GeForce GTX 570
Benchmarking: crypt SHA-512 (rounds=391939) [OpenCL]... DONE
Raw:    4185 c/s real, 4185 c/s virtual

Using device 0: Tahiti
Benchmarking: crypt SHA-512 (rounds=391939) [OpenCL]... DONE
Raw:    5285 c/s real, 3276K c/s virtual

Using device 1: AMD FX(tm)-8120 Eight-Core Processor
Benchmarking: crypt SHA-512 (rounds=391939) [OpenCL]... DONE
Raw:    1873 c/s real, 234 c/s virtual

This last test should confirm that something's not right. I believe
OpenCL CPU can't be 70x OMP...

Whatever is wrong with Claudio's format, it's not caught by the
self-tests. We need to implement cryptsha in the test suite :(

It turns out I was. Not sure what is happening here.
