In the vmx AES init routines we do a printk(KERN_INFO ...) to report
the fallback implementation we're using.
However with a slow console this can significantly affect the speed of
crypto operations. Using 'cryptsetup benchmark' the removal of the
printk() leads to a ~5x speedup for aes-cbc decryption.
So remove them.

You can't reach init() if parent alg_name is invalid. Moreover,
cypto_alloc_base() will return ENOENT if alg_name is NULL.
Found while grasping the fallback mechanism.

The enable_kernel_*() functions leave the relevant MSR bits enabled
until we exit the kernel sometime later. Create disable versions
that wrap the kernel use of FP, Altivec VSX or SPE.
While we don't want to disable it normally for performance reasons
(MSR writes are slow), it will be used for a debug boot option that
does this and catches bad uses in other areas of the kernel.

With the recent change to enable_kernel_vsx(), we no longer need
to call enable_kernel_fp() and enable_kernel_altivec().

vmx-crypto driver make use of some VSX instructions which are
only available if VSX is enabled. Running in cases where VSX
are not enabled vmx-crypto fails in a VSX exception.
In order to fix this enable_kernel_vsx() was added to turn on
VSX instructions for vmx-crypto.

Pull crypto update from Herbert Xu:
"Here is the crypto update for 4.2:
API:
- Convert RNG interface to new style.
- New AEAD interface with one SG list for AD and plain/cipher text.
All external AEAD users have been converted.
- New asymmetric key interface (akcipher).
Algorithms:
- Chacha20, Poly1305 and RFC7539 support.
- New RSA implementation.
- Jitter RNG.
- DRBG is now seeded with both /dev/random and Jitter RNG. If kernel
pool isn't ready then DRBG will be reseeded when it is.
- DRBG is now the default crypto API RNG, replacing krng.
- 842 compression (previously part of powerpc nx driver).
Drivers:
- Accelerated SHA-512 for arm64.
- New Marvell CESA driver that supports DMA and more algorithms.
- Updated powerpc nx 842 support.
- Added support for SEC1 hardware to talitos"
