[PATCH] Fix PPC SHA1 routine for large input buffers

The PPC SHA1 routine had an overflow which meant that it gave incorrect results for input buffers >= 512MB. This fixes it by ensuring that the update of the total length in bits is done using 64-bit arithmetic.

Yep. I checked the assembly output of this, and it looks right, but I haven't actually tested it by running it...

Paul.
