Take the existing small footprint and mostly time invariant C code

It is using an S-box without any prefetching. That doesn't look very
"time invariant" to me.


Thanks for your suggestion, will do in the next version patch.

Calling these "sm4_expandkey()" and "sm4_crypt_block()" would be more consistent
with the other lib/crypto/ functions such as the AES ones. The other
lib/crypto/ functions don't have a "crypto_" prefix, as that is used for
functions related to the traditional crypto API rather than the library API.

Ditto. thanks for pointing it out.
