The speed will depend on exactly which cpu type is used.
It is even possible that the 'not unrolled at all' loop
(with the all the extra register moves) is faster on some x86-64 cpu.

Split to 3 lines.
If you can put SHA256_K[] and W[] into a struct then the
compiler can use the same register to address into both
arrays (using an offset of 64*4 for the second one).
(ie keep the two arrays, not an array of struct).
This should reduce the register pressure slightly.
