commit ebba09f198078b7a2565004104ef762d1148e7f0 upstream.

For Zhaoxin processors, the XSHA1 instruction requires the total memory
allocated at %rdi register must be 32 bytes, while the XSHA1 and
XSHA256 instruction doesn't perform any operation when %ecx is zero.

Due to these requirements, the current padlock-sha driver does not work
correctly with Zhaoxin processors. It cannot pass the self-tests and
therefore does not activate the driver on Zhaoxin processors. This issue
has been reported in Debian [1]. The self-tests fail with the
following messages [2]:

alg: shash: sha1-padlock-nano test failed (wrong result) on test vector 0, cfg="init+update+final aligned buffer"
alg: self-tests for sha1 using sha1-padlock-nano failed (rc=-22)

alg: shash: sha256-padlock-nano test failed (wrong result) on test vector 0, cfg="init+update+final aligned buffer"
alg: self-tests for sha256 using sha256-padlock-nano failed (rc=-22)

Disable the padlock-sha driver on Zhaoxin processors with the CPU family
0x07 and newer. Following the suggestion in [3], support for PHE will be
added to lib/crypto/ instead.
