I'm still a bit skeptical of the usefulness of a standalone "ghash"
implementation, when in practice it will only be used as part of "gcm(aes)".
Directly implementing "gcm(aes)" (instead of relying on crypto/gcm.c to compose
"ghash" and "ctr(aes)") also allows some performance optimizations.

I asked about this on v4
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/ZCSG71bRuTzVutdm@gmail.com/),
but I didn't receive a response.

Any thoughts on this?

- Eric
