This patch series addresses concerns raised by Richard Henderson regarding 
redundant
copies of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data and code (see
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-02/msg04391.html).

The patches declare commonly used AES tables in the include/qemu/aes.h header 
file
and define the tables in util/aes.c, thus eliminating redundant copies.

Minor refactorization of the i386 and ARM instruction models are made to utilize
this common support.  The newly added PowerPC instructions are completely
rewritten and look much more like the i386 equivalents; a substantial amount of
code is eliminated.

V2: updated patch 05/06 per Richard Henderson's review (const pointer to const)

Looks good to me. Which queue should this go through? IMHO Richard would be the perfect person to get this through one of his.
