+ * Definitions:
+ *  GF    Galois Extension Field GF(2^128) - finite field where elements are
+ *        represented as polynomials with coefficients in GF(2) with the
+ *        highest degree of 127. Polynomials are represented as 128-bit binary
+ *        numbers where each bit represents one coefficient.
+ *        e.g. polynomial x^5 + x^3 + x + 1 is represented in binary 101011.
+ *  H     hash key (128 bit)
+ *  POLY  irreducible polynomial x^127 + x^7 + x^2 + x + 1
+ *  RPOLY irreducible polynomial x^128 + x^127 + x^126 + x^121 + 1
+ *  +     addition in GF, which equals to XOR operation
+ *  *     multiplication in GF
+ *
+ * GF multiplication consists of 2 steps:
+ *  - carry-less multiplication of two 128-bit operands into 256-bit result
+ *  - reduction of 256-bit result into 128-bit with modulo POLY
+ *
+ * GHash is calculated on 128-bit blocks of data according to the following
+ * formula:
+ *    GH = (GH + data) * hash_key
+ *
+ * To avoid bit-reflection of data, this code uses GF multipication
+ * with reversed polynomial:
+ *   a * b * x^-127 mod RPOLY
+ *
+ * To improve computation speed table Hi is precomputed with powers of H',
+ * where H' is calculated as H<<1 mod RPOLY.
+ * This allows us to improve performance by deferring reduction. For example
+ * to caclulate ghash of 4 128-bit blocks of data (b0, b1, b2, b3), we can do:
+ *
+ * u8x16 Hi[4];
+ * ghash_precompute (H, Hi, 4);
+ *
+ * ghash_data_t _gd, *gd = &_gd;
+ * ghash_mul_first (gd, GH ^ b0, Hi[3]);
+ * ghash_mul_next (gd, b1, Hi[2]);
+ * ghash_mul_next (gd, b2, Hi[1]);
+ * ghash_mul_next (gd, b3, Hi[0]);
+ * ghash_reduce (gd);
+ * ghash_reduce2 (gd);
+ * GH = ghash_final (gd);
+ *
+ * Reduction step is split into 3 functions so it can be better interleaved
+ * with other code, (i.e. with AES computation).
