Could you help me understand what systems this would enable?

riscv64 and s390x (at least for the parts of parasail used by canu)

I guess I don't see the appeal for riscv64 and s390x for parasail because I am not aware of how to write vectorized code for those archs. No SSE or AVX or Altivec or neon, so parasail will just contain the slow reference implementations for all alignment routines.
