010d12474c Add support for selecting encryption backend
- Add two new module parameters to icp (icp_aes_impl, icp_gcm_impl)
  that control the crypto implementation.  At the moment there is a
  choice between generic and aesni (on platforms that support it).
- This enables support for AES-NI and PCLMULQDQ-NI on AMD Family
  15h (bulldozer) and newer CPUs (zen).
- Modify aes_key_t to track what implementation it was generated
  with as key schedules generated with various implementations
  are not necessarily interchangable.

0b04990a5d Illumos Crypto Port module added to enable native encryption in zfs
A port of the Illumos Crypto Framework to a Linux kernel module (found
in module/icp). This is needed to do the actual encryption work. We cannot
use the Linux kernel's built in crypto api because it is only exported to
GPL-licensed modules. Having the ICP also means the crypto code can run on
any of the other kernels under OpenZFS. I ended up porting over most of the
internals of the framework, which means that porting over other API calls (if
we need them) should be fairly easy. Specifically, I have ported over the API
functions related to encryption, digests, macs, and crypto templates. The ICP
is able to use assembly-accelerated encryption on amd64 machines and AES-NI
instructions on Intel chips that support it. There are place-holder
directories for similar assembly optimizations for other architectures
(although they have not been written).
