Thanks. I've added the chacha ciphersuites into gnutls, and run the TLS
benchmarks (with AES acceleration disabled):
                RSA_AES_128_GCM_SHA256  84.49 MB/sec
                       RSA_AES_128_CCM  65.35 MB/sec
                 RSA_CHACHA20_POLY1305  200.33 MB/sec

When AESNI/PCLMUL are enabled:
                RSA_AES_128_GCM_SHA256  1.19 GB/sec
                       RSA_AES_128_CCM  0.27 GB/sec
                 RSA_CHACHA20_POLY1305  0.20 GB/sec

I guess chacha will be good for smaller systems which have no hw AES
acceleration.

One small comment. I liked the ccm_encrypt_message() in ccm.h and would
be nice if it would be come the default interface provided by all AEAD
ciphers in nettle.

regards,
Nikos
