The "by8" implementation introduced in commit 22cddcc7df8f ("crypto: aes
- AES CTR x86_64 "by8" AVX optimization") is failing crypto tests as it
handles counter block overflows differently. It only accounts the right
most 32 bit as a counter -- not the whole block as all other
implementations do. This makes it fail the cryptomgr test #4 that
specifically tests this corner case.
As we're quite late in the release cycle, just disable the "by8" variant
for now.

I'll try to create a real fix next week but I can't promise much. If
Linus releases v3.17 early, as he has mentioned in his -rc6
announcement, we should hot fix this by just disabling the "by8"
variant. The real fix would add the necessary counter block handling to
the asm code and revert this commit afterwards. Reverting the whole code
is not necessary, imho.
Would that be okay for you, Herbert?
