This looks good in pinciple, but I see one mistake:

The SH4 version still needs the bottom of the function to
handle data that is not a multiple of 32 bytes long.

I would expect gcc to produce a properly optimized
version for sh4 from the generic code as well, so I would
suggest you remove it entirely and rely on the common code
here.
