Thanks a lot for this patch.  Now, looking at it in the stable/9 context, I can see that pjd did not merge (as he said at the time of commit) r226839 & r226839.  Is there any objection to merge these two (and possibly 247061 as well -- copyright update)?

I ask that for two reasons, these two revisions are speeding up AES-NI quite a bit and they are required for using jmg's patch.

I'll be testing all this in the next few days on my new AES-NI enabled machine.
