This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of
templates. This is in preparation for templates that may support
multiple types of instances depending on what is requested. For example,
the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct.
For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed
is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not
match.

Main module, this implements the Liskov Rivest Wagner block cipher mode
in the new blockcipher API. The implementation is based on ecb.c.
The LRW-32-AES specification I used can be found at:
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1619/email/pdf00017.pdf
It implements the optimization specified as optional in the
specification, and in addition it uses optimized multiplication
routines from gf128mul.c.
Since gf128mul.[ch] is not tested on bigendian, this cipher mode
may currently fail badly on bigendian machines.
