Currently the ecb/cbc macros hold fpu context unnecessarily when using 
scalar cipher routines (e.g. when handling odd sizes of blocks per walk).

Change the macros to drop fpu context as soon as the fpu is out of use.

No performance impact found (on Intel Haswell).

My apologies. I was having difficulties configuring git send-email,
but now I believe that I have the issues resolved. Future patches will
be properly formatted.

It landed okay on lore:

I've seen enough of these now to know where this is going, I'd bet that
you're a protonmail user...

Yup, that's why I'm not resending it.

You would be quite correct. They do like making your life difficult when
it comes to using smtp.

Anyway, the patch landed fine on lore and patchwork and I've (finally)
configured git-send-email properly, so I think that this should be all 
good now.

Again, sorry for the issues,
Peter Lafreniere

Unfortunately that's the most annoying part. Proton encrypts the copies
to specific recipients only... See:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221231152320.1340874-1-conor@kernel.org/

Thanks,
Conor.

I am still receiving encrypted messages, and given that I am a direct
recipient, the mailing list server does not cc me then unencrypted
copies.

I am not going to reply to the patch until it lands in my inbox in
plaintext, sorry ...

As Ard needs to review this patch, until this is resolved I won't
be applying this.

Thanks,

I've received the plaintext version in the mean time, it's on another thread.

So we can close this one.
