These functions in aesni-intel_asm.S have comments that show the function
prototypes. Can you please keep them in sync?

For the src and dst, how about making glue_xts_crypt_128bit_one() take u8
instead of u128? That would avoid having to add these u8 => u128 casts to all
10 callers of glue_xts_crypt_128bit_one().
