Looks reasonable to me. To be honest, it's a bit difficult to follow, it
seems I didn't document this that well when I wrote it back in 2008.
Some potential further improvements: It would likely be possible to order the
cases at the end as L(nul), L(one), L(two), and let the nul case fall
through into the one case, reducing the size a bit. And a mulx version
could likely eliminate a lot of the move instructions.
It's a somewhat obscure function, used only by
mpn_hgcd_mul_matrix1_vector. I think its performance matters mainly for
gcdext in the Lehmer size range. (It's also used by hgcd base case, but
for sizes where that is used, I'd guess that it's a pretty small part of
the complete gcd computation).
