[PATCH RFT 0/2] arm64: AES in ECB/CBC/CTR/XTS modes

This code has been sitting in my personal git repo for about 6 months, waiting
for a piece of hardware to do some performance testing on. I am losing my
patience so I am posting it now so others may have a go if they are interested.
Please post back your results in that case.

(Note that an early version containing just the Crypto Extensions code was
posted a while ago.)

These are asynchronous versions of AES in ECB, CBC, CTR and XTS modes. They use
ablk_helper, hence the inclusion of patch #1.

Patch #2 contains both a Crypto Extensions and a plain NEON implementation. As
much as possible of the glue and chaining mode code was shared, and the diff
between crypto extensions and NEON split out into aes-ce.S and aes-neon.S

The Makefile allows some tweaking with INTERLEAVE and INTERLEAVE_INLINE. I don't
expect the overhead of inline expansion to be justified, but I do expect there
to be a difference between non-interleaved and interleaved instantiations. Note
that the NEON code only supports INTERLEAVE=4 for lack of registers. Please
refer to aes-modes.S for more details.

Happy to answer to questions and/or comments.
