Currently the VMAC template uses a "nonce" hardcoded to 0, which makes it insecure unless a unique key is set for every message. Also, the endianness of the final digest is wrong: the implementation uses little endian, but the VMAC specification has it as big endian, as do other VMAC implementations such as the one in Crypto++. Add a new VMAC template where the nonce is passed as the first 16 bytes of data (similar to what is done for Poly1305's nonce), and the digest is big endian. Call it "vmac64", since the old name of simply "vmac" didn't clarify whether the implementation is of VMAC-64 or of VMAC-128 (which produce 64-bit and 128-bit digests respectively); so we fix the naming ambiguity too.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
