This improves performance using 512bit SIMD instructions.
It looks like older versions of GCC have slightly unreliable logic for array out-of-bounds detection.
Code in ethash which uses unions and arrays is firing a warning in both Debian Jesse (8.5) and in the ARM Linux cross-builds.
Debian Jesse uses GCC 4.9.2.   The cross-builds are using GCC 4.8.4.
Other distros are using GCC 5.x or even GCC 6.x (Arch).
The issue is https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56273 and was fixed in GCC 5.0 and backported to 4.9.3.

Updated comments.
With this change we will be able to remove a global warning suppression from our CMake files.
