Comment (by rrnewton):

 I tend to agree with the previous comment.  I built one crypto PRNG lib
 using AESNI (in foreign code).  It just seems like there aren't that many
 uses of it, and that it's fine to keep it in foreign code.  That's in
 stark contrast with the SIMD primops, where you really want it to be
 inline inside your numeric loops (and its a wide variety of
 loops/algorithms that can use it).
