Description

Add PowerPC vpmsum implementation of CRC

* cipher/Makefile.am: Add 'crc-ppc.c'.
* cipher/crc-armv8-ce.c: Remove 'USE_INTEL_PCLMUL' comment.
* cipher/crc-ppc.c: New.
* cipher/crc.c (USE_PPC_VPMSUM): New.
(CRC_CONTEXT): Add 'use_vpmsum'.
(_gcry_crc32_ppc8_vpmsum, _gcry_crc24rfc2440_ppc8_vpmsum): New.
(crc32_init, crc24rfc2440_init): Add HWF check for 'use_vpmsum'.
(crc32_write, crc24rfc2440_write): Add 'use_vpmsum' code-path.
* configure.ac: Add 'vpmsumd' instruction to PowerPC VSX inline
assembly check; Add 'crc-ppc.lo'.
