OK, will do.

It sounds reasonable. But I worry about testing that changes. Hope,
crypto community will help with it.

Ah, sure. Octet of words. Will change it.

Thanks for doing this test. Looking at this I realize that this is
not the architecture feature but compiler feature. So if we add
128-bit interface, it would be reasonable to add it for all targets
that compiled with toolchain supporting 128-bit accesses.

There's already the option ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128 that is enabled for 
x86_64 in arch/x86/Kconfig and conditionally enabled for arm64 in 
arch/arm64/Makefile:
KBUILD_CFLAGS    += $(call cc-ifversion, -ge, 0500, -DCONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128)

It is used in include/linux/math64.h and in lib/ubsan.c, not so wide.

So I find things little messed. Crypto code ignores compilers' ability
to operate with 128-bit numbers. Ubsan and math64 relies on compiler
version (at least for arm64, and I doubt it would work correctly with clang).
And now I introduce HAVE_128BIT_ACCESS with the same meaning for memory
access.

I think it's time to unify 128-bit code:
 - enable CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128 if compiler supports it, ie check
   it like you do below;
 - declare u128 as structure or typedef depending on ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128
   in generic include/linux/int128.h, as you suggest here;
 - switch this series to ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128.

Does it sound reasonable?
