I don't think this is likely to be reproducible on other
micro-architectures, so setting up a test rig is unlikely to help.

I'll send out a v2 which implements a ahash instead of a shash (and
implements some other tweaks) so that kernel_fpu_begin() is only
called twice for each packet on the cbcmac path.

Do you have any numbers for the old kernel without your patch? This
pathological FPU preserve/restore behavior could be caused be the
optimizations, or by other changes that landed in the meantime, so I
would like to know if kernel_fpu_begin() is as prominent in those
traces as well.
