  * GF(2^128) multiplication function
  *
- * This function multiplies a field element by x, by x^4 and by x^8 in the
- * polynomial field representation. It uses 64-bit word operations to gain
- * speed but compensates for machine endianess and hence works correctly on
- * both big and little endian machines.
