21	  Use an implementation of GHASH (used by the GCM AEAD chaining mode)
22	  that uses the 64x64 to 128 bit polynomial multiplication (vmull.p64)
23	  that is part of the ARMv8 Crypto Extensions, or a slower variant that
24	  uses the vmull.p8 instruction that is part of the basic NEON ISA.

40	  Bit sliced AES gives around 45% speedup on Cortex-A15 for CTR mode
41	  and for XTS mode encryption, CBC and XTS mode decryption speedup is
42	  around 25%. (CBC encryption speed is not affected by this driver.)
43
44	  The bit sliced AES code does not use lookup tables, so it is believed
45	  to be invulnerable to cache timing attacks. However, since the bit
46	  sliced AES code cannot process single blocks efficiently, in certain
47	  cases table-based code with some countermeasures against cache timing
48	  attacks will still be used as a fallback method; specifically CBC
49	  encryption (not CBC decryption), the encryption of XTS tweaks, XTS
50	  ciphertext stealing when the message isn't a multiple of 16 bytes, and
51	  CTR when invoked in a context in which NEON instructions are unusable.
