The generic AES implementation we rely on if no architecture specific
one is available relies on lookup tables that are relatively large with
respect to the typical L1 D-cache size, which not only affects
performance, it may also result in timing variances that correlate with
the encryption keys.
So we tend to avoid the generic code if we can, usually by using a
driver that makes use of special AES instructions which supplant most of
the logic of the table based implementation the AES algorithm.
The Zkn RISC-V extension provides another interesting take on this: it
defines instructions operating on scalar registers that implement the
table lookups without relying on tables in memory. Those tables carry
32-bit quantities, making them a natural fit for a 32-bit architecture.
And given the use of scalars, we don't have to rely in in-kernel SIMD,
which is a bonus.
So let's use the instructions to implement the core AES cipher for RV32.

+ Implement scalar AES using the RV32 instructions specified by the Zkn
+ extension. These instructions replace the table lookups used by the
+ generic implementation, making this implementation time invariant
+ (provided that the instructions themselves are). It also reduces the
+ D-cache footprint substantially, as the AES lookup tables are quite
+ large.
