* @file erasure_code.h
* @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.
