Turns out, integrated assembler doesn't like this instruction in
aes_sub():
umov %w[out], v0.4s[0]

Specifically, it barks at "v0.4s[0]" part. And the way I read the spec,
it's quite correct in not accepting this argument. From UMOV
description:

UMOV <Wd>, <Vn>.<Ts>[<index>]

...

<Ts> For the 32-bit variant: is an element size specifier, encoded in
the "imm5" field. It can have the following values:
B when imm5 = xxxx1
H when imm5 = xxx10
S when imm5 = xx100


With "v0.s[0]" it builds fine.

Ard, since this is your code, can you comment? Feels like a typo.
