This patch is a CE-optimized assembly implementation for ESSIV mode.
The assembly part is realized by reusing the CBC mode.

Is there still a use case for CBC-ESSIV mode these days, now that everyone is
using XTS instead?

- Eric

The mainstream is already using XTS, but CBC-ESSIV is still an optional
backup algorithm, especially in block crypto and fscrypto, I'm currently
working on supporting the SM4 algorithm for these subsystems.

Cheers,
Tianjia
