[CRYPTO] twofish: i586 assembly version

The patch passed the trycpt tests and automated filesystem tests.
This rewrite resulted in some nice perfomance increase over my last patch.

Short summary of the tcrypt benchmarks:

Twofish Assembler vs. Twofish C (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -33% Cycles
decrypt: -45% Cycles

Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (128bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: +3%  Cycles
decrypt: -22% Cycles

Twofish Assembler vs. AES Assembler (256bit 8kb block CBC)
encrypt: -20% Cycles
decrypt: -36% Cycles

Here is another bonnie++ benchmark with encrypted filesystems. All runs with
the twofish assembler modules max out the drivespeed. It should give some
idea what the module can do for encrypted filesystem performance even though
you can't see the full numbers.

Twofish cipher algorithm.
Twofish was submitted as an AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
candidate cipher by researchers at CounterPane Systems. It is a
16 round block cipher supporting key sizes of 128, 192, and 256
bits.
