Description
Currently, the BitLocker OpenCL format (bitlocker-opencl) format support more hash formats than the CPU version.
It would be great if the CPU format (bitlocker) could be made more feature complete.
CC @e-ago Hi, I am still waiting for the high-level description of the algorithm+steps which are implemented in the BitLocker OpenCL kernel. I don't want to spend hours trying to reverse-engineer the heavily unrolled code in this kernel.
@e-ago Can you please work on making the CPU format feature complete?

Research direction
Compare the CPU bitlocker format with bitlocker-opencl, starting by deriving the algorithm and steps implemented by the heavily unrolled OpenCL kernel. Identify which hash formats and features are missing from the CPU version; done means the CPU format supports the relevant OpenCL capabilities and their behavior is verified.
