[jdk11u-dev] RFR: 8271567: AArch64: AES Galois CounterMode (GCM) interleaved implementation using vector instructions

[Andrew Haley]

This is a backport of the big AES/GCM patch from JDK head. It's a
major change and it's had very little time (almost a day) to mature in
head, so perhaps it shouldn't be backported to 11 for some time; I
wouldn't be at all surprised if some reviewers' reaction was "What
have you been smoking?" However, there is a good reason for a
backport: OpenJDK on x86 has a major advantage. AES/GCM is an
important cipher, the current AArch64 implementation is much slower
than x86, and some workloads are severely impacted.

I'm open to all arguments about why this should or shouldn't be pushed,
and I'm quite happy to wait for another release cycle or two if people
think that's the best course of action.
