Merged to the power-asm-wip branch (there were still some improper line breaks on the url-lines at the end; I had to edit a little before git am was happy with it). And I did the P8 -> p8 rename. If the ci tests work out fine, I'll merge to the master branch, and we can continue from there.
I'm not sure what you plan on doing with POWER9, but the POWER8 AES sources will be fine for POWER9.
POWER9 adds the DARN random number generator. DARN is like RDRAND or RDSEED. You can ask for a conditioned or unconditioned word. The rng is not available on POWER8.
See the POWER ISA 3.0 specification, p. 78.
