The Crypto Extension instantiation of the aes-modes.S collection of skciphers uses only 15 NEON registers for the round key array, whereas the pure NEON flavor uses 16 NEON registers for the AES S-box. This means we have a spare register available that we can use to hold the XTS mask vector, removing the need to reload it at every iteration of the inner loop. Since the pure NEON version does not permit this optimization, tweak the macros so we can factor out this functionality. Also, replace the literal load with a short sequence to compose the mask vector. On Cortex-A53, this results in a ~4% speedup.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
