These code are used by GHES only now. We have a test suite for GHES.
These code works well for GHES.

At the same time, we have test code dedicated for these lib too,
including stress testing.

We have tested the code on x86_64 and i386 architectures. For some other
architectures, we have done compile testing. The code is quite simple,
so I think it should run properly on other architectures too.
