b9f535ffe3 [CRYPTO] twofish: i586 assembly version
The patch passed the trycpt tests and automated filesystem tests.
This rewrite resulted in some nice perfomance increase over my last patch.

Short summary of the tcrypt benchmarks:

Twofish Assembler vs. Twofish C (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -33% Cycles
decrypt: -45% Cycles

Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (128bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: +3%  Cycles
decrypt: -22% Cycles

Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -20% Cycles
decrypt: -36% Cycles

Here is another bonnie++ benchmark with encrypted filesystems. All runs with
the twofish assembler modules max out the drivespeed. It should give some
idea what the module can do for encrypted filesystem performance even though
you can't see the full numbers.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
