Thanks for the patch! I'm not really familiar with AltiVec / VSX or
POWER at all so it's difficult for me to review this, but we have
somebody on the list who should be able to help. :) It might need a
bit of time though.

Meanwhile, it would be nice if you could send this patch in the usual
format, using git send-email and adding a Signed-off-by: tag. This is
just the same submission format as the Linux kernel and many other
opensource projects, see the archives for examples:

  https://archives.passt.top/passt-dev/

I understand you might not want to reveal your full name, and that's
entirely fine, but still it would be better if you could send the patch
in the usual format.

We'll accept patches regardless of the submission format though, so
that's not a strict requirement, just a nice-to-have. Thanks.
