Fw: ppc64: AES/GCM Performance improvement with stitched implementation

[Danny Tsen]

To Whom It May Concern,

This patch provides a performance improvement over AES/GCM with stitched 
implementation for ppc64.  The code is a wrapper in assembly to handle multiple 
8 blocks and handle big and little endian.

The overall improvement is based on the nettle-benchmark with ~80% improvement 
for AES/GCM encrypt and ~86% improvement for decrypt over the current baseline. 
 The benchmark was run on a P10 machine with 3.896GHz CPU.

Please find the attached patch and benchmarks.

Thanks.
-Danny
