Thanks, the first fix looks good.  Is the second one needed though?  It
already pushes rbp before it aligns the stack.

DWARF/undwarf will be immune to these issues, so I'll be moving a lot of
these crypto changes to a separate branch.  They were only in this
branch because the new-and-improved objtool can now find rbp misusage in
leaf functions.

It seems that most of the crypto code is frame pointer ignorant.  IMO,
leaf functions shouldn't be allowed to use rbp because it breaks frame
pointers when preempted by an interrupt.  GCC seems to agree.

I added a check to objtool to find the ones which use rbp badly.  Here
are the ones I see with my config:

  arch/x86/crypto/des3_ede-asm_64.o: warning: objtool: des3_ede_x86_64_crypt_blk uses BP as a scratch register

(And that doesn't include the ones which misuse ebp.)

It may be a challenge to fix some of those which use all available
registers.
