//! intrinsics, and the code is not yet cleanly factored between the
//! field element parts and the point parts.
//!
//! When compiling with AVX512VL, LLVM is able to use the extra
//! `ymm16..ymm31` registers to reduce register pressure, and avoid
//! spills during field multiplication. This gives a small but
//! noticeable speedup.
//!
//! The addition and subtraction steps involve masking, to apply
//! operations to a single lane of the vector. AVX512VL extends the
//! predication features of AVX512 to AVX2 code and would probably be
//! beneficial. Unfortunately, LLVM is currently unable to lower `op +
//! blend` into an AVX512VL masked operation. However, the explicitly
//! masked versions of the intrinsics seem to produce the same LLVM IR
//! as an `op + blend`, so hopefully this will improve as the AVX512
//! support in LLVM improves.
