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.
