+ *  @brief Interface to functions supporting erasure code encode and decode.
+ *
+ *  This file defines the interface to optimized functions used in erasure
+ *  codes.  Encode and decode of erasures in GF(2^8) are made by calculating the
+ *  dot product of the symbols (bytes in GF(2^8)) across a set of buffers and a
+ *  set of coefficients.  Values for the coefficients are determined by the type
+ *  of erasure code.  Using a general dot product means that any sequence of
+ *  coefficients may be used including erasure codes based on random
+ *  coefficients.
+ *  Multiple versions of dot product are supplied to calculate 1-6 output
+ *  vectors in one pass.
+ *  Base GF multiply and divide functions can be sped up by defining
+ *  GF_LARGE_TABLES at the expense of memory size.
