On FreeBSD, linking the zfs kernel module with binutils ld 2.44 shows
the following warning:
ld: warning: aesni-gcm-avx2-vaes.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section
implies executable stack
ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a
future version of the linker
Some of the `.S` files under `module/icp/asm-x86_64/modes` check whether
to emit the `.note.GNU-stack` section using:
#if defined(__linux__) && defined(__ELF__)
We could add `&& defined(__FreeBSD__)` to the test, but since all other
`.S` files in the OpenZFS tree use:
#ifdef __ELF__
it would seem more logical to use that instead. Any recent ELF platform
should support these note sections by now.

This uses the AVX2 versions of the AESENC and PCLMULQDQ instructions; on
Zen 3 this provides an up to 80% performance improvement.
