The XTS blockmode uses a copy of the IV which is saved on the stack
and may or may not be properly aligned. If it is not, it will break
hardware cipher like the geode or padlock.
This patch encrypts the IV in place so we don't have to worry about
alignment.

XTS currently considered to be the successor of the LRW mode by the IEEE1619
workgroup. LRW was discarded, because it was not secure if the encyption key
itself is encrypted with LRW.
XTS does not have this problem. The implementation is pretty straightforward,
a new function was added to gf128mul to handle GF(128) elements in ble format.
Four testvectors from the specification
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/pdf00086.pdf
were added, and they verify on my system.

This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of
templates. This is in preparation for templates that may support
multiple types of instances depending on what is requested. For example,
the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct.
For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed
is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not
match.

Main module, this implements the Liskov Rivest Wagner block cipher mode
in the new blockcipher API. The implementation is based on ecb.c.
The LRW-32-AES specification I used can be found at:
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/pdf00017.pdf
It implements the optimization specified as optional in the
specification, and in addition it uses optimized multiplication
routines from gf128mul.c.
Since gf128mul.[ch] is not tested on bigendian, this cipher mode
may currently fail badly on bigendian machines.
