The AES assembler code for x86 isn't actually faster than code generated by the compiler from aes_generic.c, and considering the disproportionate maintenance burden of assembler code on x86, it is better just to drop it entirely. Modern x86 systems will use AES-NI anyway, and given that the modules being removed have a dependency on aes_generic already, we can remove them without running the risk of regressions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
