I do not get the above message on a SandyBridge i7-2620M, even though
the module makes use of the "by8" variant on my system, too:
[ 0.340626] AVX version of gcm_enc/dec engaged.
[ 0.340627] AES CTR mode by8 optimization enabled
[ 0.341273] alg: No test for __gcm-aes-aesni (__driver-gcm-aes-aesni)

Can you please provide the full kernel log and /proc/cpuinfo of those
machines? It would be interesting to know which variant was used on
those machines -- the new "by8" or the old one.
Thanks,
Mathias
