Restore the SIMD optimization for 4.19.38 LTS, 4.14.120 LTS,
and 5.0 and newer kernels. This is accomplished by leveraging
the fact that by definition dedicated kernel threads never need
to concern themselves with saving and restoring the user FPU state.
Therefore, they may use the FPU as long as we can guarantee user
tasks always restore their FPU state before context switching back
to user space.
For the 5.0 and 5.1 kernels disabling preemption and local
interrupts is sufficient to allow the FPU to be used. All non-kernel
threads will restore the preserved user FPU state.
For 5.2 and latter kernels the user FPU state restoration will be
skipped if the kernel determines the registers have not changed.
Therefore, for these kernels we need to perform the additional
step of saving and restoring the FPU registers. Invalidating the
per-cpu global tracking the FPU state would force a restore but
that functionality is private to the core x86 FPU implementation
and unavailable.
In practice, restricting SIMD to kernel threads is not a major
restriction for ZFS. The vast majority of SIMD operations are
already performed by the IO pipeline. The remaining cases are
relatively infrequent and can be handled by the generic code
without significant impact. The two most noteworthy cases are:
1) Decrypting the wrapping key for an encrypted dataset,
i.e. `zfs load-key`. All other encryption and decryption
operations will use the SIMD optimized implementations.
2) Generating the payload checksums for a `zfs send` stream.
In order to avoid making any changes to the higher layers of ZFS
all of the `*_get_ops()` functions were updated to take in to
consideration the calling context. This allows for the fastest
implementation to be used as appropriate (see kfpu_allowed()).
The only other notable instance of SIMD operations being used
outside a kernel thread was at module load time. This code
was moved in to a taskq in order to accommodate the new kernel
thread restriction.
Finally, a few other modifications were made in order to further
harden this code and facilitate testing. They include updating
each implementations operations structure to be declared as a
constant. And allowing "cycle" to be set when selecting the
preferred ops in the kernel as well as user space.

- Add two new module parameters to icp (icp_aes_impl, icp_gcm_impl)
that control the crypto implementation. At the moment there is a
choice between generic and aesni (on platforms that support it).
- This enables support for AES-NI and PCLMULQDQ-NI on AMD Family
15h (bulldozer) and newer CPUs (zen).
- Modify aes_key_t to track what implementation it was generated
with as key schedules generated with various implementations
are not necessarily interchangable.

A port of the Illumos Crypto Framework to a Linux kernel module (found
in module/icp). This is needed to do the actual encryption work. We cannot
use the Linux kernel's built in crypto api because it is only exported to
GPL-licensed modules. Having the ICP also means the crypto code can run on
any of the other kernels under OpenZFS. I ended up porting over most of the
internals of the framework, which means that porting over other API calls (if
we need them) should be fairly easy. Specifically, I have ported over the API
functions related to encryption, digests, macs, and crypto templates. The ICP
is able to use assembly-accelerated encryption on amd64 machines and AES-NI
instructions on Intel chips that support it. There are place-holder
directories for similar assembly optimizations for other architectures
(although they have not been written).
