Comment (by carter):

 I think that this is something which (like atomics), should be on both
 llvm and native code gens.

 Frustratingly, unlike SIMD and Atomic memory operations, these crypto
 primops have a much less satisfactory fall back native code story.
 Accidentally providing incorrect fallback  crypto codes would be a HUGE
 liability for ghc.

 That said, I do have some ideas that I hope to work out and have ready by
 ghc 7.10 that will subsume this ticket and a few others.
