This patch adds improved F-macro for 4-way parallel functions. With new
F-macro for 4-way parallel functions, blowfish sees ~15% improvement in
speed tests on AMD Phenom II (~5% on Intel Xeon E7330).
However when used in 1-way blowfish function new macro would be ~10%
slower than original, so old F-macro is kept for 1-way functions.
Patch cleans up old F-macro as it is no longer needed in 4-way part.
Patch also does register macro renaming to reduce stack usage.

Patch adds x86_64 assembly implementation of blowfish. Two set of assembler
functions are provided. First set is regular 'one-block at time'
encrypt/decrypt functions. Second is 'four-block at time' functions that
gain performance increase on out-of-order CPUs. Performance of 4-way
functions should be equal to 1-way functions with in-order CPUs.
Summary of the tcrypt benchmarks:
Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block ECB)
encrypt: 2.2x speed
decrypt: 2.3x speed
Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: 1.12x speed
decrypt: 2.5x speed
Blowfish assembler vs blowfish C (256bit 8kb block CTR)
encrypt: 2.5x speed
