Introduce new assembler functions to avoid use temporary stack buffers in
glue code. This also allows use of vector instructions for xoring output
in CTR and CBC modes and construction of IVs for CTR mode.
ECB mode sees ~0.5% decrease in speed because added one extra function
call. CBC mode decryption and CTR mode benefit from vector operations
and gain ~2%.

Patch replaces 'movb' instructions with 'movzbl' to break false register
dependencies, interleaves instructions better for out-of-order scheduling
and merges constant 16-bit rotation with round-key variable rotation.

[v2]
- Do instruction interleaving another way to avoid adding new FPU<=>CPU
register moves as these cause performance drop on Bulldozer.
- Improvements to round-key variable rotation handling.
- Further interleaving improvements for better out-of-order scheduling.
