[CRYPTO] twofish: x86-64 assembly version
The patch passed the trycpt tests and automated filesystem tests.
This rewrite resulted in some nice perfomance increase over my last patch.
Short summary of the tcrypt benchmarks:
Twofish Assembler vs. Twofish C (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -27% Cycles
decrypt: -23% Cycles
Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (128bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: +18% Cycles
decrypt: +15% Cycles
Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -9% Cycles
decrypt: -8% Cycles

Here is another bonnie++ benchmark with encrypted filesystems. Most runs maxed
out the hd. It should give some idea what the module can do for encrypted filesystem
performance even though you can't see the full numbers.
