Try to compile the latest kernel with binutils 2.16.1 this time to debug
and verify my fix. Now, with patch followed, aesni-intel_asm.S can be
compiled. But I failed to compile whole kernel with binutils 2.16.1.
First ld report unknown options, after use latest ld instead of that of
2.16.1, "as" reports errors as follow:

AS arch/x86/kernel/acpi/realmode/wakeup.o
cc1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
cc1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
cc1: warning: -mregparm is ignored in 64-bit mode

Can you tell me how to setup the building environment with binutils
2.16.1? I just build it by hand and make the installed bin directory the
first one in $PATH.

Best Regards,
Huang Ying

Subject: [BUGFIX] Fix another AES-NI CTR optimization compiling failure with gas 2.16.1

The previous AES-NI CTR optimization compiling failure gas 2.16.1 fix
introduces another compiling failure by itself. This patch fixes that.
