8435a3c300 crypto: twofish/avx - avoid using temporary stack buffers
Introduce new assembler functions to avoid use temporary stack buffers in glue
code. This also allows use of vector instructions for xoring output in CTR and
CBC modes and construction of IVs for CTR mode.

ECB mode sees ~0.2% decrease in speed because added one extra function
call. CBC mode decryption and CTR mode benefit from vector operations
and gain ~3%.

f94a73f8dd crypto: twofish-avx - tune assembler code for more performance
Patch replaces 'movb' instructions with 'movzbl' to break false register
dependencies and interleaves instructions better for out-of-order scheduling.

Tested on Intel Core i5-2450M and AMD FX-8100.

[v2]
 - Do instruction interleaving another way to avoid adding new FPU<=>CPU
   register moves as these cause performance drop on Bulldozer.
 - Further interleaving improvements for better out-of-order scheduling.

a43478863b crypto: twofish-avx - remove useless instruction
The register %rdx is written, but never read till the end of the encryption
routine. Therefore let's delete the useless instruction.

107778b592 crypto: twofish - add x86_64/avx assembler implementation
This patch adds a x86_64/avx assembler implementation of the Twofish block
cipher. The implementation processes eight blocks in parallel (two 4 block
chunk AVX operations). The table-lookups are done in general-purpose registers.
For small blocksizes the 3way-parallel functions from the twofish-x86_64-3way
module are called. A good performance increase is provided for blocksizes
greater or equal to 128B.

Patch has been tested with tcrypt and automated filesystem tests.
