These two C implementations from Zinc -- a 32x32 one and a 64x64 one,
depending on the platform -- come from Andrew Moon's public domain
poly1305-donna portable code, modified for usage in the kernel. The
precomputation in the 32-bit version and the use of 64x64 multiplies in
the 64-bit version make these perform better than the code it replaces.
Moon's code is also very widespread and has received many eyeballs of
scrutiny.
There's a bit of interference between the x86 implementation, which
relies on internal details of the old scalar implementation. In the next
commit, the x86 implementation will be replaced with a faster one that
doesn't rely on this, so none of this matters much. But for now, to keep
this passing the tests, we inline the bits of the old implementation
that the x86 implementation relied on. Also, since we now support a
slightly larger key space, via the union, some offsets had to be fixed
up.
Nonce calculation was folded in with the emit function, to take
advantage of 64x64 arithmetic. However, Adiantum appeared to rely on no
nonce handling in emit, so this path was conditionalized. We also
introduced a new struct, poly1305_core_key, to represent the precise
amount of space that particular implementation uses.
Testing with kbench9000, depending on the CPU, the update function for
the 32x32 version has been improved by 4%-7%, and for the 64x64 by
19%-30%. The 32x32 gains are small, but I think there's great value in
having a parallel implementation to the 64x64 one so that the two can be
compared side-by-side as nice stand-alone units.

Expose the existing generic Poly1305 code via a init/update/final
library interface so that callers are not required to go through
the crypto API's shash abstraction to access it. At the same time,
make some preparations so that the library implementation can be
superseded by an accelerated arch-specific version in the future.

Move the core Poly1305 routines shared between the generic Poly1305
shash driver and the Adiantum and NHPoly1305 drivers into a separate
library so that using just this pieces does not pull in the crypto
API pieces of the generic Poly1305 routine.
In a subsequent patch, we will augment this generic library with
init/update/final routines so that Poyl1305 algorithm can be used
directly without the need for using the crypto API's shash abstraction.
