Intel AES-NI is a new set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD)
instructions that are going to be introduced in the next generation of
Intel processor, as of 2009. These instructions enable fast and secure
data encryption and decryption, using the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES), defined by FIPS Publication number 197. The architecture
introduces six instructions that offer full hardware support for
AES. Four of them support high performance data encryption and
decryption, and the other two instructions support the AES key
expansion procedure.

AES may be used in soft_irq context, but MMX/SSE context can not be
touched safely in soft_irq context. So in_interrupt() is checked, if
in IRQ or soft_irq context, the general x86_64 implementation are used
instead.

From NHM processor onward, Intel processors can support hardware accelerated
CRC32c algorithm with the new CRC32 instruction in SSE 4.2 instruction set.
The patch detects the availability of the feature, and chooses the most proper
way to calculate CRC32c checksum.
Byte code instructions are used for compiler compatibility.
No MMX / XMM registers is involved in the implementation.

There is almost no difference between 32 & 64 bit glue code.

This is the x86-64 version of the Salsa20 stream cipher algorithm. The
original assembly code came from
<http://cr.yp.to/snuffle/salsa20/amd64-3/salsa20.s>. It has been
reformatted for clarity.

This patch contains the salsa20-i586 implementation. The original
assembly code came from
<http://cr.yp.to/snuffle/salsa20/x86-pm/salsa20.s>. I have reformatted
it (added indents) so that it matches the other algorithms in
arch/x86/crypto.

32 bit and 64 bit glue code is using (now) the same
piece code. This patch unifies them.
