Andrew Morton reported that AES-NI CTR optimization failed to compile

arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_asm.S:753: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `movq'

To fix this, a gas macro is defined to assemble movq with 64bit
general purpose registers and XMM registers. The macro will generate
the raw .byte sequence for needed instructions.


Eventually you'll port the entire assembler into macros, as instructions are introduced more frequently that people upgrade their assemblers. Maybe we should disable the new features and warn people (and distros) to upgrade their tools instead.
