Agree. I was thinking other sizes can be added on need basis.
However, I am wondering if we should just provide for 4B and then the users=
 can use bulk operations to construct whatever they need? It would mean ext=
ra work for the users.

Yes, I tried to keep it the same as the existing one (originally, I guess t=
he intention was to allow for 256b vector instructions to be generated)

If 'num' is a compile time constant, 'sz' will be a compile time constant. =
Otherwise, this will result in a multiplication operation. I have tried to =
avoid the multiplication operation and try to use shift and mask operations=
 (just like how the rest of the ring code does).

I had used memcpy to start with (for the entire copy operation), performanc=
e is not the same for 64b elements when compared with the existing ring API=
s (some cases more and some cases less).

IMO, we have to keep the performance of the 64b and 128b the same as what w=
e get with the existing ring and event-ring APIs. That would allow us to re=
place them with these new APIs. I suggest that we keep the macros in this p=
atch for 64b and 128b.

For the rest of the sizes, we could put a for loop around 32b macro (this w=
ould allow for all sizes as well).
