This patch fixes aes-armv4.S and sha1-armv4-large.S to work
natively in Thumb. This allows ARM/Thumb interworking workarounds
to be removed.
I also take the opportunity to convert some explicit assembler
directives for exported functions to the standard
ENTRY()/ENDPROC().
For the code itself:
* In sha1_block_data_order, use of TEQ with sp is deprecated in
ARMv7 and not supported in Thumb. For the branches back to
.L_00_15 and .L_40_59, the TEQ is converted to a CMP, under the
assumption that clobbering the C flag here will not cause
incorrect behaviour.
For the first branch back to .L_20_39_or_60_79 the C flag is
important, so sp is moved temporarily into another register so
that TEQ can be used for the comparison.
* In the AES code, most forms of register-indexed addressing with
shifts and rotates are not permitted for loads and stores in
Thumb, so the address calculation is done using a separate
instruction for the Thumb case.
The resulting code is unlikely to be optimally scheduled, but it
should not have a large impact given the overall size of the code.
I haven't run any benchmarks.

Add assembler versions of AES and SHA1 for ARM platforms. This has provided
up to a 50% improvement in IPsec/TCP throughout for tunnels using AES128/SHA1.
