patches 1,2,4,5 all contain this "tested with" text, yet obviously
were not.  It also indicates that a data buffer that's > 8MB was not

I also asked about speed relative to software running on the core
and didn't get a response.  Software should be faster up to
a certain buffer size: what is that threshold?

I wouldn't call "ace" a generic name - crypto units other than
ACE should be able to use this code.
