OK this patch applies now at least.  However it doesn't build:

  AS [M]  arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_asm.o
arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_asm.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_asm.S:803: Error: no such instruction: `aesenc 16*1(%rdi),%xmm6'
arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_asm.S:803: Error: no such instruction: `aesenc 16*1(%rdi),%xmm7'
arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_asm.S:803: Error: no such instruction: `aesenc 16*1(%rdi),%xmm8'
...

I suppose you can't rely on these new binutils instructions just
yet.
