Indeed (thanks Richard) that is enabled since 3.6-1.
It is unlikely though due to the associated symbol changes (see e.g. the
old changelogs) that this can be provided as an SRU for older releases.
I'm not saying impossible, just unlikely as that evaluation has to be
done and checked in depth for potential side-effects in regard to an
SRU.

Title:
Nettle: Enable AES-NI instructions on amd64.
Status in nettle package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in nettle source package in Bionic:
Confirmed
Status in nettle source package in Focal:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The current build of libnettle6 does not have AES-NI enabled. There's
two configure options for enabling it:
--enable-x86-aesni: Use AES-NI instructions instead of the standard
implementation. This will break on systems that don't have AES-NI.
--enable-fat: Build a "fat" library that has the standard implementation and
the AES-NI implementation. This allows the library to continue working on older
systems while providing faster performance on systems that have AES-NI.
Note that Nettle's AES-NI implementation as of v3.2 is only supported
on amd64, not i386, so this would only affect the 64-bit package.
