crypto: vmx - Document CTR mode counter width quirks
The CTR code comes from OpenSSL, where it does a 32-bit counter. The kernel has a 128-bit counter. This difference has lead to issues. Document it. Signed-off-by: Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

{{{ # CTR procedure[s] #

+####################### WARNING: Here be dragons! #######################
+#
+# This code is written as 'ctr32', based on a 32-bit counter used
+# upstream. The kernel does *not* use a 32-bit counter. The kernel uses
+# a 128-bit counter.
+#
+# This leads to subtle changes from the upstream code: the counter
+# is incremented with vaddu_q_m rather than vaddu_w_m. This occurs in
+# both the bulk (8 blocks at a time) path, and in the individual block
+# path. Be aware of this when doing updates.
+#
+# See:

+# 009b30ac7444 ("crypto: vmx - CTR: always increment IV as quadword")
