    x86/64: enable AES-NI support in kernel
    
    The kernel will detect if the host supports this, so we can just enable
    it in the kernel config.
    
    Tested on an APU2 with AES-NI support and a KVM VM on a Xeon E5520 host
    without AES-NI support.
    
    Throughput over an IPsec tunnel between these 2 hosts increased from
    ~63Mbps to ~140Mbps. Ciphers: AES_GCM_16_256/PRF_HMAC_SHA2_512/ECP_521.
