Lbswap_mask, Lpoly and Ltwo_one should clearly belong to
.data section, not .text.

Old binutils do not support PCLMULQDQ-NI and PSHUFB, to make kernel
can be compiled by them, .byte code is used instead of assembly
instructions. But the readability and flexibility of raw .byte code is
not good.
So corresponding assembly instruction like gas macro is used instead.

Old gases don't have a clue what pshufb stands for so we have
to hard-code it for now.

PCLMULQDQ is used to accelerate the most time-consuming part of GHASH,
carry-less multiplication. More information about PCLMULQDQ can be
found at:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/carry-less-multiplication-and-its-usage-for-computing-the-gcm-mode/
Because PCLMULQDQ changes XMM state, its usage must be enclosed with
kernel_fpu_begin/end, which can be used only in process context, the
acceleration is implemented as crypto_ahash. That is, request in soft
IRQ context will be defered to the cryptd kernel thread.
