Hi Adam,

partial backports that very much touch common code, etc.

That's certainly understandable.

I believe it's possible to trim up the backports even more.

AFAICT, most changes are contained inside #ifdef HWAES_CAPABLE blocks,
and the first patch is just syntactic sugar so not to change a few lines
in subsequent patches; so I'll try to remove it, and change those few
lines (the 'ks' to 'ks->ks' change).

Then it should be OK to validate the places defining HWAES in other files/arches.. 
or even restrict any addition/ifdef even more w/ a POWER8/ppc64el specific conditional.

Does that help?

Thanks
