x86_64 has the "interesting" property that the instruction size is generally a bit shorter for instructions that operate on the 32-bit (or less) part of registers, or registers that are in the original set of 8. This patch adjusts the AES-XTS code to take advantage of that property by changing the LEN parameter from size_t to unsigned int (which is all that's needed and is what the non-AVX implementation uses) and using the %eax register for KEYLEN. This decreases the size of aes-xts-avx-x86_64.o by 1.2%. Note that changing the kmovq to kmovd was going to be needed anyway to make the AVX10/256 code really work on CPUs that don't support 512-bit vectors (since the AVX10 spec says that 64-bit opmask instructions will only be supported on processors that support 512-bit vectors).

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
