Subject: xor: pass the entire operation to the low-level ops

Currently the high-level xor code chunks up all operations into small
units for only up to 1 + 4 vectors, and passes it to four different
methods.  This means the FPU/vector context is entered and left a lot for
wide stripes, and a lot of indirect expensive indirect calls are
performed.  Switch to passing the entire gen_xor request to the low-level
ops, and provide a macro to dispatch it to the existing helper.

This reduce the number of indirect calls and FPU/vector context switches
by a factor approaching nr_stripes / 4, and also reduces source and binary
code size.
