[PATCH 1/5] PowerPC optimized routines for AES and SHA2 using PowerISA

[Jussi Kivilinna]

Hello,

I've start implementing PowerPC vector crypto AES implementation without
cryptogams on top of your patch "re-implement single-block mode, and 
implement OCB block cipher". I expect AES work to be completed by the end
of this month, SHA2 in September and GHASH in Sep~Oct.
