Cosmic is missing the fix for "5c380d623ed3 - crypto: vmx - Add support
for VMS instructions by ASM (4 years, 5 months ago) <Leonidas S.
Barbosa>" ... which is fixed by 'crypto: vmx - fix copy-paste error in
CTR mode', it fixes a couple of incorrect branch targets, and usage of
an incorrect vector assembly instruction.

The others two patches ("crypto: vmx - CTR: always increment IV as
quadword ", "crypto: vmx - ghash: do nosimd fallback manually ") fixes
for ghash replaces the fallback mechanism that is used on powerpc an
operation is required to operate in interrupt context.

These fixes are important to avoid a potential data integrity issue.
