Subject: [PATCH 0/8] VAES+AVX2 optimized implementation of AES-GCM

This patchset replaces the 256-bit vector implementation of AES-GCM for
x86_64 with one that requires AVX2 rather than AVX512.  This greatly
improves AES-GCM performance on CPUs that have VAES but not AVX512, for
example by up to 74% on AMD Zen 3.  For more details, see patch 1.

This patchset also renames the 512-bit vector implementation of AES-GCM
for x86_64 to be named after AVX512 rather than AVX10/512, then adds
some additional optimizations to it.

This patchset applies to next-20250929 and is targeting 6.19.  Herbert,
I'd prefer to just apply this myself.  But let me know if you'd prefer
to take it instead (considering that AES-GCM hasn't been librarified
yet).  Either way, there's no hurry, since this is targeting 6.19.

Eric Biggers (8):
  crypto: x86/aes-gcm - add VAES+AVX2 optimized code
  crypto: x86/aes-gcm - remove VAES+AVX10/256 optimized code
  crypto: x86/aes-gcm - rename avx10 and avx10_512 to avx512
  crypto: x86/aes-gcm - clean up AVX512 code to assume 512-bit vectors
  crypto: x86/aes-gcm - reorder AVX512 precompute and aad_update
    functions
  crypto: x86/aes-gcm - revise some comments in AVX512 code
  crypto: x86/aes-gcm - optimize AVX512 precomputation of H^2 from H^1
  crypto: x86/aes-gcm - optimize long AAD processing with AVX512
