The previous AES-NI CTR optimization compiling failure gas 2.16.1 fix
introduces another compiling failure by itself. This patch fixes that.

Andrew Morton reported that AES-NI CTR optimization failed to compile
with gas 2.16.1, the error message is as follow:
arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_asm.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_asm.S:752: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `movq'
arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_asm.S:753: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `movq'
To fix this, a gas macro is defined to assemble movq with 64bit
general purpose registers and XMM registers. The macro will generate
the raw .byte sequence for needed instructions.

It will take some time for binutils (gas) to support some newly added
instructions, such as SSE4.1 instructions or the AES-NI instructions
found in upcoming Intel CPU.
To make the source code can be compiled by old binutils, .byte code is
used instead of the assembly instruction. But the readability and
flexibility of raw .byte code is not good.
This patch solves the issue of raw .byte code via generating it via
assembly instruction like gas macro. The syntax is as close as
possible to real assembly instruction.
Some helper macros such as MODRM is not a full feature
implementation. It can be extended when necessary.
