The generic AES code provides four sets of lookup tables, where each
set consists of four tables containing the same 32-bit values, but
rotated by 0, 8, 16 and 24 bits, respectively. This makes sense for
CISC architectures such as x86 which support memory operands, but
for other architectures, the rotates are quite cheap, and using all
four tables needlessly thrashes the D-cache, and actually hurts rather
than helps performance.

Since x86 already has its own implementation of AEGIS based on AES-NI
instructions, let's tweak the generic implementation towards other
architectures, and avoid the prerotated tables, and perform the
rotations inline. On ARM Cortex-A53, this results in a ~8% speedup.

Precise and non-ambiguous license information is important. The recently
added aegis header file has a SPDX license identifier, which is nice, but
at the same time it has a contradictionary license boiler plate text.

  SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0

versus

  * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
  * under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
  * Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
  * any later version

Oh well.

As the other aegis related files are licensed under the GPL v2 or later,
it's assumed that the boiler plate code is correct, but the SPDX license
identifier is wrong.

Fix the SPDX identifier and remove the boiler plate as it is redundant.

Use the correct __le32 annotation and accessors to perform the
single round of AES encryption performed inside the AEGIS transform.
Otherwise, tcrypt reports:

This patch adds the generic implementation of the AEGIS family of AEAD
algorithms (AEGIS-128, AEGIS-128L, and AEGIS-256). The original
authors of AEGIS are Hongjun Wu and Bart Preneel.

At the time of writing, AEGIS is one of the finalists in CAESAR, an
open competition intended to select a portfolio of alternatives to
the problematic AES-GCM:
