--- Comment #6 from Timothy Pearson <[email protected]> ---
Most likely this is the VSX cryptographic instructions being turned on when
they shouldn't be.  VSX with crypto is only really available in POWER8 (ISA
2.07) or higher; PPC_FEATURE2_VEC_CRYPTO should be tested at runtime to see if
it exists as it is technically an optional feature even on ISA 2.07 and higher.
