- XTS mode optimisation for twofish/cast6/camellia/aes on x86.
- AVX2/x86_64 implementation for blowfish/twofish/serpent/camellia.
- SSSE3/AVX/AVX2 optimisations for sha256/sha512.
- Added driver for SAHARA2 crypto accelerator.
- Fix for GMAC when used in non-IPsec secnarios.
- Added generic CMAC implementation (including IPsec glue).
- IP update for crypto/atmel.
- Support for more than one device in hwrng/timeriomem.
- Added Broadcom BCM2835 RNG driver.
- Misc fixes.
