It is not immediately obvious to me where Intel comes into this. The submission says it is the Cloudflare author's own work.

Is it because the co-author of the mentioned paper (Shay Gueron) is from Intel? The commit doesn't explicitly say he also co-authored the code, though -- maybe that should be clearer.

Looks like the patch is derived from OpenSSL and the OpenSSL part was developed by Shay Gueron and Vlad Krasnov.

It is because the patch contained a line that reads

  // Copyright 2015 Intel Corporation
Without further clarification.
