Will we have the situation that `crypto_simd_usable()` condition is not consistent
during the aes_setkey(), aes_enc/dec()? If yes, all accelerated(or HW specific)
crypto algorithms should do the same implementations as the sw fallback path
since the `crypto_simd_usable()` will change back and forth.

Thx, I will fix that.

Do we prefer the code with the branches instead of the specified implementation?
We could make AES-128/192/256 together like:

    @{[vaesz_vs $V24, $V1]}
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V2]}
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V3]}
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V4]}
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V5]}
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V6]}
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V7]}
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V8]}
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V9]}
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V10]}
    beq $ROUND, $ROUND_11, 1f
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V11]}
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V12]}
    beq $ROUND, $ROUND_13, 1f
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V13]}
    @{[vaesem_vs $V24, $V14]}
1:
    @{[vaesef_vs $V24, $V15]}

But we will have the additional costs for the branches.
