So as you've hopefully seen, I've nailed it down and posted a patch.
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1099934/)

I'm also seeing issues with ghash with the extended tests:

[    7.582926] alg: hash: p8_ghash test failed (wrong result) on test vector 0, cfg="random: use_final src_divs=[<reimport>9.72%@+39832, <reimport>18.2%@+65504, <reimport,nosimd>45.57%@alignmask+18, <reimport,nosimd>15.6%@+65496, 6.83%@+65514, <reimport,nosimd>1.2%@+25, <reim"

It seems to happen when one of the source divisions has nosimd and the
final result uses the simd finaliser, so that's interesting.

Daniel
